a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence); "speculations about the outcome of the election"; "he dismissed it as mere conjecture"
Let k be a positive integer and let f1(x), f2(x), , fk(x) be irreducible polynomials with integral coefficients and positive leading coefficients Assume also that there is not a prime p which divides the product f1(m) f2(m) fk(m) for every integer m Then there exists a positive integer n such that f1(n), f2(n), , fk(n) are all primes
A conjecture is a conclusion that is based on information that is not certain or complete. That was a conjecture, not a fact There are several conjectures The attitudes of others were matters of conjecture although there were plenty of rumours about how individuals had behaved. = surmise
A conjecture is an idea or statement about mathematics that has not yet been proved absolutely true For instance Goldbach's conjecture is that every even number bigger than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers This has been tested by computers for many thousands of numbers but, as yet, no one has come up with a proof that is true for all even numbers bigger than 2 Perhaps there is an even number, somewhere, for which we cannot find two prime numbers which add up to it
