Short for the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" meaning "that which was to be demonstrated"
Used at the end of a proof to show it is completed.
Also written Q.E.D.
Example: If m is an even integer, then m2 is even
Proof: By definition of an even integer, there exists an integer n such that m = 2n
Thus we get m2 = (2n)2 = 2(2n2)
and we have m2 is also even. QED
