All the biographical information we have of him was provided by Diogenes Laertius' Lives of the Philosophers, written four hundred years after Theophrastus' time; nevertheless, it is a trustworthy tradition: "there is no intrinsic improbability in most of what Diogenes records".

Theorem of de Moivre–Laplace In probability theory, the theorem of de Moivre–Laplace is a special case of the central limit theorem. It states that the binomial distribution of the number of "successes" in n independent Bernoulli trials with probability 1/2 of success on each trial is approximately a normal distribution if n is large, or, more precisely, that after standardizing, the probabilities converge to those assigned by the standard normal distribution.
Theorem of the cube In mathematics, the theorem of the cube is a foundational result in the algebraic geometry of a complete variety. It was a principle discovered, in the context of linear equivalence, by the Italian school of algebraic geometry.
Theorem Proving in Higher-Order Logics Theorem Proving in Higher-Order Logics (TPHOLs) is an annual international academic conference on the topic of automated reasoning in higher-order logics. The first TPHOLs was held in Cambridge, UK in 1987, but in the early years was an informal gathering of researchers interested in the HOL system and had no formal proceedings.
Theorema Egregium The Theorema Egregium ('Remarkable Theorem') is an important theorem of Carl Friedrich Gauss concerning the curvature of surfaces. Informally, the theorem says that the curvature of a surface can be determined entirely by measuring angles and distances on the surface, that is, it does not depend on how the surface might be embedded in (3-dimensional) space.
