A general mean value theorem, for real valued functions, is proved. This mean value theorem contains, as a special case, the result that for any, suitably restricted, function f defined on [a, b], there always exists a number c in (a, b) such that f(c) − f(a) = f′(c)(c−a). A partial converse of the general mean value theorem is given. A similar generalized mean value theorem, for vector valued functions, is also established.
