-\subsection{Theorem-like Constructs}
-Other common constructs that may occur in your article are
-the forms for logical constructs like theorems, axioms,
-corollaries and proofs.  There are
-two forms, one produced by the
-command \texttt{{\char'134}newtheorem} and the
-other by the command \texttt{{\char'134}newdef}; perhaps
-the clearest and easiest way to distinguish them is
-to compare the two in the output of this sample document:
-
-This uses the \textbf{theorem} environment, created by
-the\linebreak\texttt{{\char'134}newtheorem} command:
-\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
-\begin{theorem}
-Let $f$ be continuous on $[a,b]$.  If $G$ is
-an antiderivative for $f$ on $[a,b]$, then
-\begin{displaymath}\int^b_af(t)dt = G(b) - G(a).\end{displaymath}
-\end{theorem}
-
-The other uses the \textbf{definition} environment, created
-by the \texttt{{\char'134}newdef} command:
-\newdef{definition}{Definition}
-\begin{definition}
-If $z$ is irrational, then by $e^z$ we mean the
-unique number which has
-logarithm $z$: \begin{displaymath}{\log e^z = z}\end{displaymath}
-\end{definition}
-
-Two lists of constructs that use one of these
-forms is given in the
-\textit{Author's  Guidelines}.
-
-There is one other similar construct environment, which is
-already set up
-for you; i.e. you must \textit{not} use
-a \texttt{{\char'134}newdef} command to
-create it: the \textbf{proof} environment.  Here
-is a example of its use:
-\begin{proof}
-Suppose on the contrary there exists a real number $L$ such that
-\begin{displaymath}
-\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = L.
-\end{displaymath}
-Then
-\begin{displaymath}
-l=\lim_{x\rightarrow c} f(x)
-= \lim_{x\rightarrow c}
-\left[ g{x} \cdot \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \right ]
-= \lim_{x\rightarrow c} g(x) \cdot \lim_{x\rightarrow c}
-\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = 0,
-\end{displaymath}
-which contradicts our assumption that $l\neq 0$.
-\end{proof}
-
-Complete rules about using these environments and using the
-two different creation commands are in the
-\textit{Author's Guide}; please consult it for more
-detailed instructions.  If you need to use another construct,
-not listed therein, which you want to have the same
-formatting as the Theorem
-or the Definition \cite{salas:calculus} shown above,
-use the \texttt{{\char'134}newtheorem} or the
-\texttt{{\char'134}newdef} command,
-respectively, to create it.
-
-\subsection{A {\secit Caveat} for the \TeX\ Expert}
-Because you have just been given permission to
-use the \texttt{{\char'134}newdef} command to create a
-new form, you might think you can
-use \TeX's \texttt{{\char'134}def} to create a
-new command: \textit{Please refrain from doing this!}
-Remember that your \LaTeX\ source code is primarily intended
-to create camera-ready copy, but may be converted
-to other forms -- e.g. HTML. If you inadvertently omit
-some or all of the \texttt{{\char'134}def}s recompilation will
-be, to say the least, problematic.
