Definition

A conjecture is an educated guess or hypothesis based on observations.

Description

In mathematics, a conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true based on empirical evidence but has not yet been proven. Conjectures play a crucial role in the development of mathematical theories and proofs. For example, the famous Goldbach Conjecture suggests that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two prime numbers. Conjectures stimulate further research and exploration, leading to new discoveries and advancements in mathematics.
