Pseudomathematics, or mathematical crankery, is a mathematics-like activity that does not adhere to the framework of rigor of formal mathematical practice. Common areas of pseudomathematics are solutions of problems proved to be unsolvable or recognized as extremely hard by experts, as well as attempts to apply mathematics to non-quantifiable ...
In mathematics, pseudoanalytic functions are functions introduced by Lipman Bers (1950, 1951, 1953, 1956) that generalize analytic functions and satisfy a weakened form of the Cauchy–Riemann equations.

In mathematics, a pseudometric space is a generalization of a metric space in which the distance between two distinct points can be zero. Pseudometric spaces were introduced by Đuro Kurepa [1] [2] in 1934.
In convex analysis and the calculus of variations, both branches of mathematics, a pseudoconvex function is a function that behaves like a convex function with respect to finding its local minima, but need not actually be convex.
In mathematics, a pseudo-finite field F is an infinite model of the first-order theory of finite fields.This is equivalent to the condition that F is quasi-finite (perfect with a unique extension of every positive degree) and pseudo algebraically closed (every absolutely irreducible variety over F has a point defined over F).
In mathematics, a pseudogroup is a set of homeomorphisms between open sets of a space, satisfying group-like and sheaf-like properties. It is a generalisation [dubious – discuss] of the concept of a group, originating however from the geometric approach of Sophus Lie [1] to investigate symmetries of differential equations, rather than out of abstract algebra (such as quasigroup, for example).
