In [[mathematics]], a '''proof without words''' is a [[mathematical proof]] of an identity or [[mathematical statement]] which can be demonstrated as self-evident by a [[mathematical diagram]] without any accompanying explanatory text.

Such proofs can be considered more elegant than more formal and mathematically rigorous proofs due to their self-evident nature.

When the diagram demonstrates a particular case of a general statement, to be a proof, it must be generalizable.
