"The Strong Law of Small Numbers" is the humorous title of a popular paper by mathematician Richard K. Guy and also the so-called law that it proclaims: In other words, any given small number appears in far more contexts than may seem reasonable, leading to many apparently surprising coincidences in mathematics, simply because small numbers appear so often and yet are so few. Guy's paper gives 35 examples in support of this thesis. This can lead inexperienced mathematicians to conclude that these concepts are related, when in fact they are not. Guy's observation has since become part of mathematical folklore, and is commonly referenced by other authors. ==See also== * Law of large numbers (unrelated, but the origin of the name) * Law of small numbers (disambiguation) (other meanings of similar phrase) * Mathematical coincidence * Pigeonhole principle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「strong law of small numbers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
