Criterion

A Criterion is a condition that set of conditions that must hold for a result to be true.

• AKA: Criterium, Mathematical Criterion.
• Context:
  • It can be a theorem.
  • It can range from being Sufficient Condition, to being a Necessary Condition, to being a Necessary and Sufficient Condition.
