I am trying to run my latex file. I am getting the following error. I think it is something related to the document class. We create it "paper" and we put it in the same file. However, it is stated that it is not found. This is the code:

\documentclass{Paper}
\usepackage{amsmath}
  \usepackage{paralist}
  \usepackage{graphics}
  \usepackage{epsfig} 
 \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{urlcolor=blue, citecolor=red}

  \textheight=8.2 true in
   \textwidth=5.0 true in
    \topmargin 30pt
     \setcounter{page}{1}

\def\proofb{\par{\it Proof} \ignorespaces}

\def\endproofb{\hfill$\Box$}

This is the message error:

  • And, welcome to TeX.SE. For more information how to create a MWE, please see: tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/…. Jun 19, 2019 at 11:17
  • Okay, I will add the code.

    @samarachamoun you could ask your supervisor if he has a file symbol.sty or symbol.tex (maybe a collection of macros for symbols that he created for personal use). If that is the case then you can copy those files to the folder on your own computer where your ArticleSC.tex file is, that might solve your current issue. Also note that LaTeX can be case-sensitive, if you use \documentclass{Paper} then the file must be called Paper.cls and not paper.cls, and the same for \usepackage, \input etc. (I'm not saying you do this wrong but note that this could be an issue).

    unrelated but use \usepackage{graphicx} not \usepackage{graphics}\usepackage{epsfig} Jun 19, 2019 at 14:39

Based on the possibility it is just you forcing the capital P that cause a problem with that class, I have amended the rest of your MWE, including comments where problems arose (may arise later).

enter image description here

    \\documentclass[a4paper]{paper} %do not use P = LaTeX Warning: You have requested document class `Paper', but the document class provides `paper'.

\section{Introduction}

Wello Horld\footnote{Well Hello} here I will add a \remark (By others)``From a logical point of view, there is no difference between a lemma, proposition, theorem, or corollary - they are all claims waiting to be proved. However, we use these terms to suggest different levels of importance and difficulty.''

\notation Ano Tation without a number.

\definition - a precise and unambiguous description of the meaning of a mathematical term.  It characterizes the meaning of a word by giving all the properties and only those properties that must be true.
\theorem - a mathematical statement that is proved using rigorous mathematical reasoning.  In a mathematical paper, the term theorem is often reserved for the most important results.
\lemma - a minor result whose sole purpose is to help in proving a theorem.  It is a stepping stone on the path to proving a theorem. Very occasionally lemmas can take on a life of their own (Zorn’s lemma, Urysohn’s lemma, Burnside’s lemma, Sperner’s lemma).
%\limon - a cidic fruit whose sole purpose is to test if your looking.
\corollary - a result in which the (usually short) proof relies heavily on a given theorem (we often say that “this is a corollary of Theorem A”).
\proposition - a proved and often interesting result, but generally less important than a theorem.
\conjecture - a statement that is unproved, but is believed to be true (Collatz conjecture, Goldbach conjecture, twin prime conjecture).

\Example Here we are using Example with a capital $E=mc^2$
\example CAUTION \textbackslash example is a fixed definition \item generating lines fit for \item providing a list \end{list}
