Few of these teachers received preservice mathematics education courses designed to help them — and ultimately their students — achieve deeper, more meaningful learning, such as analyzing mathematical arguments for accuracy and determining whether an alternative strategy will accurately reach problem solutions all of the time (Ball et al., 2008).

Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph's theorem, known as PBR, uses a sophisticated mathematical argument to show that any interpretation of quantum mechanics that doesn't treat the wave function as a real object invariably leads to results that contradict quantum theory itself. (discovermagazine.com)
Proofiness, writes Seife, is «the art of using bogus mathematical arguments to prove something that you know in your heart is true — even when it's not.» (voxfelina.com)
