Convincingly Wrong Mathematical Proofs & Arguments
Updated: Aug 13, 2020
Mistakes are disappointing, but sometimes they can be entertaining. In this post, I will give a list of incorrect mathematical arguments, that are not that easy to notice, especially if you are in a hurry. A few of these delicately wrong arguments were given by me at some points of my life. I will not point out which ones, though :)
