• In mathematics, a conjecture is a conclusion or proposition based on incomplete information, for which no proof has been found.

• Conjecture is contrasted by hypothesis, which is a testable statement based on accepted grounds. In mathematics, a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct.

• Conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true but not yet proved. The statement "Sum of the measures of the interior angles in any triangle is 180° " is a conjecture. Here is another such conjecture: "If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.".

Definition of conjectural. 1. : of the nature of or involving or based on conjecture. Without evidence, his conclusions are only conjectural.
