  2. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

    The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions. More specifically, the Millennium Prize version of the conjecture is that, if the elliptic curve E has rank r , then the L -function L ( E , s ) associated with it vanishes to order r at s = 1 .

  3. Riemann hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis

    In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. Many consider it to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. [1]

  4. Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis

    The hypothesis of Andreas Cellarius, showing the planetary motions in eccentric and epicyclical orbits. A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A scientific hypothesis must be based on observations and make a testable and reproducible prediction about reality, in a process beginning with an educated guess or ...

  5. Generalized Riemann hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Riemann_hypothesis

    The extended Riemann hypothesis asserts that for every number field K and every complex number s with ζ K (s) = 0: if the real part of s is between 0 and 1, then it is in fact 1/2. The ordinary Riemann hypothesis follows from the extended one if one takes the number field to be Q, with ring of integers Z.

  6. Conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjecture

    In mathematics, a conjecture is a conclusion or a proposition that is proffered on a tentative basis without proof. [1] [2] [3] Some conjectures, such as the Riemann hypothesis or Fermat's conjecture (now a theorem, proven in 1995 by Andrew Wiles), have shaped much of mathematical history as new areas of mathematics are developed in order to ...

  7. Category:Conjectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Conjectures

    A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven. Conjectures are related to hypotheses , which in science are empirically testable conjectures. In mathematics , a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct.

  8. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    A proposition that has not been proved but is believed to be true is known as a conjecture, or a hypothesis if frequently used as an assumption for further mathematical work. Proofs employ logic expressed in mathematical symbols, along with natural language that usually admits some ambiguity.

  9. Scientific method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

    A hypothesis is a conjecture based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. Hypotheses can be very specific or broad but must be falsifiable , implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis ...
