The theorem alluded to in the title is the following: Let \(y=f(x)\) be a continuous real-valued function on a closed interval \([a,b].\) If f' exists and \(f'(x)>0\) for all \(x\in(a,b),\) then for all c,d such that \(a<c<d<b, f(c)<f(d).\) The author presents a proof which does not appeal to the mean-value theorem.
