Math is fascinating to me, though I struggled with math in high school and only took the minimum I needed. (Age changes things, man.) I’m reading a book on Wiles’ proof for Fermat’s Last Theorem and got curious about proofs.
At what point does something move from an assumption with examples (well yeah. Look at this) to a full proof?
Simple example that came to mind:
For any number n, where n is a prime >2, the sum of the factors of n cannot be odd.
