I'm using
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{proposition}{Proposition}
The numberings of Theorem and Proposition are not consecutive (I get Theorem 1 followed by Proposition 1 instead of Theorem 1 followed by Proposition 2). How can I fix it?
I need this numbering because otherwise I would have Theorem 1, Proposition 1, Lemma 1, Corollary 1, Remark 1, etc. which I think is very confusing if I reference Proposition 1 later.

The
\newtheorem
construction offers two optional arguments. The first one fixes your numbering. In this case it means thatproposition
should use the same counter astheorem
