Extending the Frontiers of Mathematics

Inquiries into Proof and Augmentation
Mathematicians do not know in advance if their assertions are true, so they need to verify assertions with rigorous proofs or produce counterexamples, then attempt to salvage the assertions by transforming them into theorems.
