"Pons asinorum," which translates from Latin as "bridge of asses," is a term used in mathematics and philosophy to refer to a fundamental theorem or concept that serves as a critical point of understanding for students or learners. The term is most notably associated with Euclid's "Elements," specifically Proposition 5 of Book I, which deals with the properties of isosceles triangles. The proposition states that in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
