Mathematical folklore
ID: mathematical-folklore
Mathematical folklore refers to knowledge, ideas, techniques, or anecdotes in the field of mathematics that are widely shared and passed among mathematicians but are not formally published in academic literature. This can include informal proofs, heuristic methods, combinatorial tricks, or even amusing stories and conjectures that may not have rigorous backing but are well-known and accepted within the mathematical community.
