I have included the package amsmath as required to defined a new theorem/corollary (without number), but I keep having the following error:

! LaTeX Error: Command \* already defined.

Now, these are the packages I am including, if that can help:

\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newtheorem*{corollary}{Corollary}

And then I am tring to use the new command with:

\begin{corollary}
...
\end{corollary}

  • You need \usepackage{amsthm} in order to use \newtheorem*

  • You do need amsmath if you're writing a mathematical document. It's just not sufficient.

The package you need is amsthm (besides the recommended amsmath).

Add \usepackage{amsthm} and all will go flawlessly.
