Maximum theorem

The maximum theorem is like a rule that tells us the biggest or largest thing in a group of things. Imagine you have a bunch of numbers like 2, 5, and 9. The maximum theorem helps you find the biggest number which in this case would be 9.

Now, let's say you have a bunch of shapes like circles, squares, and triangles. The maximum theorem would help you figure out which shape is the biggest.

It's like playing a game of "who's the biggest" with numbers or shapes. The maximum theorem just helps us find the winner of the game and tells us who is the biggest or largest.
