Re Q.E.D.
Pretty much but a bit more than that. It is considered proof that
"That which was required to be demonstrated has been shown".
The most common modern usage is after a mathematical proof has been
made. One puts Q.E.D. at the end of the proof detail.
Math students sometimes joke that it should stand for "Quite Easily
Done" to braq that a tricky proof was done by them "quite easily".......
Easy to say once it is done, which is when the QED is added in much
the way a story has "The End" at the bottom:-)
The Latin (Quod Erat Demonstrandum) is literally "which was to be
demonstrated" .... placed at the end of the work to demonstrate that
the required point was indeed proved.
Namaste,
Irene
