    begin{theorem}

        If f is analytic inside and on the simple closed positively oriented contour $Gamma$ and if $z_0$ is any point inside $Gamma$, then

        begin{equation}

            f^{(n)}(z_0) = frac{n!}{2pi i} int_{Gamma} frac{f(zeta)}{(zeta - z_0)^{n+1}}dzeta hspace{1cm} (n=1,2,3, cdots )

begin{theorem}

(Cauchy's Integral Formula) Let $Gamma$ be a simple closed positively oriented contour. If $f$ is analytic in some simply connected domain $D$ containing $Gamma$ and $z_0$ is any point inside $Gamma$, then

begin{equation}

f(z_0)= frac{1}{2pi i} int_{Gamma} frac{f(z)}{z-z_0} dz

begin{theorem}

If f is analytic in the disk $|z-z_0|<R'$, then the Taylor series $(1)$ converges to $f(z)$ for all $z$ in this disk.

How can I enclose Definition 1, Theorem 1, and Theorem 2 in separate rectangles. And have these rectangles separated by a space?

You can try with shadethm package, it can do all you want and many more. In you example what you need is:
