In a mathematics sense, yes, theorems always require proofs. A theorem is usually just a statement about how something works of relates to another area or operation or idea etc. to actually be able to use the theorem without any doubt, it has to be proved Not necessarily by the person who came up with the theorem, but it must be proved before it can be used.

The same can also be said of corollaries and lemmas.

Why are proofs so hard to understand and master?

Proofs are difficult to understand and master because they require logical reasoning, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Additionally, proofs often involve complex steps and intricate details that can be challenging to follow and grasp. Mastering proofs requires practice, patience, and a strong foundation in mathematics.
