Sorry to roll back your corollary there, dude, but the proof already existed as a separate page. Added it as an "also see". --prime mover 00:26, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

No problem, I should have done a better search for it. Not exactly a time consuming proof to write up, so no big deal. Side note: how would you feel about linking to corollaries of major theorems (i.e. this, Element to Power of Group Order is Identity, and some other stuff are pretty immediate corollaries to Lagrange's Theorem (Group Theory)). --Alec (talk) 18:50, 7 May 2011 (CDT)
Sounds like a plan. There's a tension between the satisfaction of the "clean" model for this site: i.e. "every little result on its own little page" (which is my personal delight) and the desire to group lots of related stuff into larger pages (which makes a lot of sense from the pedagogical point of view).
Having a section called "Corollaries" (along the lines of the "Also see" section) sounds good. --prime mover 03:10, 8 May 2011 (CDT)
