Here is an example of a two-column proof. Please excuse any errors. I was concentrating on just showing what a two-column proof is, and getting the LaTex to work:)


Prove Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

Prove \overline{AC}\equiv \overline{BC}

\begin{array}{c|c}\text{Conclusions}&\text{Justifications}\\ \hline {\Delta} CAB\equiv {\Delta}CBA&\text{SAS Postulate}\\ \overline{AC}\equiv \overline{BC}&\angle A\equiv \angle B\\ {\Delta}CAB \equiv {\Delta}CBA&\text{ASA Theorem}\\ {\therefore} \overline{AC}\equiv \overline{BC}& \;\ \end{array}

That's OK. I don't mind. I wanted to see if I could get the latex to work as well.
