Conjecture: The CSR for a regular hexagon is a smaller regular hexagon that has been rotated 30 degrees with respect to the original hexagon.
Conjecture: The sides of the CSR for a 4n-gon are parallel to the sides of the 4n-gon.

 list of theorems - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
In some fields, theorem can be considered as a courtesy title, given to major results, although with a content that would not satisfy a mathematician.
No attempt is made here to comment on that aspect of usage: this is a list of results known as theorems.
Most of the results do come from mathematics, but there are others from theoretical physics, economics and so on.

To my eye, the lists of readings used to establish affiliations do not inspire total confidence, since they sometimes use agreements in archetypal readings or readings so widespread in the later tradition that their appearance in two separate editions means little or nothing.
The third part (277-361) uses the preceding study of the incunabula as a basis for studying Beroaldus' work as an editor and emender of Propertius, and this is the section of greatest interest for those studying the history of classical scholarship.
The same difficulty applies to the list of alleged conjectures of Avantius in the 1500 edition (287); many are unmetrical, many are simply senseless, and these cannot be regarded as conjectures of a competent scholar.

In short, the Red Burton style dictates that a smallest counterexample is found for false conjectures, and that in the case of true statements, a complete characterization is given of the graphs for which equality holds.
One of the first conjectures of the program seem to indicate that the boiling point of single-bonded acyclic hydrocarbons is closely related to the sum of the positive eigenvalues of their graph.
One of the most recent conjectures of the program suggests a new, possibly better predictor of stability of molecules, which should be valid at least for the fullerenes.

 Conjecture Pollution: poison schooling practice
And clearly, by punishing the plagiarists with detentions, the dean had determined they had done something wrong not mitigated by any considerations of ignorance on the part of the students due to any putative vagueness with the concept of plagiarism in practice at the high school.
This conjecture, a whiff of a theory, was concocted to rationalize special parental paranoia: imagined future career damages to their children on the basis of uncontested claims of school policy vagueness.
Undisciplined conjecture, expanded through leaps of logic and magnified by fear or fervent hope generates the bulk of topics of discussion not only in Education, but also in the world at large.

In this section I will present a list of conjectures, the exploration of which I believe to be important for the development of the "complex systems and hypercomplex fractals" research programme.
All of these conjectures basically get at the same point: the crucial thing to study is the nature of the multiple mappings by which systems give rise to algebras, algebras give rise to Julia sets, and Julia sets describe systems.
And conjectures 2, 4 and 5 apply to these subsets of the Julia set as well as to the Julia set as a whole, thus giving rise to what might be labeled conjectures 2'', 4'' and 5''.

While Hamilton had completed most of the steps to proving Thurston's conjecture, he was stuck on an issue involving the development of a sigularity (a place where the derivatives are not defined) and something called the cigar solution.

The class noted with appreciation that all of these conjectures were special cases of a more general theorem that reflections about concurrent lines will have a return time related to the number of lines.

Abstract: The chromatic neighborhood sequence of a graph G is the list of the chromatic numbers of the subgraphs induced by the neighborhoods of the vertices.
We study the maximum multiplicity of this sequence, proving, amongst other things, that if a chromatic neighborhood sequence has t distinct values, the largest value being d t, then there is a value with multiplicity at least 2d t t (1 (ln t=t)).

 Urim and Thummim - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Their possession was one of the greatest distinctions conferred upon the priestly family (Deuteronomy 33:8; Ecclesiasticus 45:10), and seems to have been connected with the function of the priests as the mouthpiece of Yahweh, as well as with the ceremonial side of the service (Exodus 28:30; compare Arabic kahin, "soothsayer").
Through their use, the nature of which is a matter of conjecture, the divine will was sought in national crises, and apparently the future foretold, guilt or innocence established, and, according to one theory, land divided (Babha' Bathra' 122a; Sanhedrin 16a).
Thus, Joshua was to stand before Eleazar who was to inquire for him after the judgment (decision) of the Urim (Numbers 27:21).

While this practice expands the length of the book it is not a superfluous indulgence: many readers will simply require a convenient text without attention to papyrological considerations and the right page is designed for them.
If closer scrutiny of the text is required (conjectures, deletions, available space, line numbers), the reader has the left page which presents an accurate reconstruction of the form and stichometry of the original column.[[4]]
The text on both pages is easy on the eyes and the left page gives the reader as clear an idea as possible of the state of the text and any alterations which have been made to it.

The NCTM Standards include many important goals (e.g., being able to conjecture, show persistence in problem solving, develop mathematical models, etc.) that we are supposed to "cover" that do not fit well in the framework of timed tests.

Other conversations suggested other promising sites of practice, and it seemed that a reasonable way to focus our discussion was to begin to make a list about tasks of teaching that serve as places where teachers have an opportunity to learn some mathematics.
The discussion has highlighted different possibilities and reasons, conjectures that are still emerging in my own thinking as reasons why these sites of practice might be productive.
