- Goldbach's conjecture - WikipediaGoldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10 18 but remains unproven despite considerable effort.
- Mathematical mysteries: the Goldbach conjecture - Plus MathsIn 1938 Nils Pipping showed that the Goldbach conjecture is true for even numbers up to and including 100,000. The latest result, established using a computer search, shows it is true for even numbers up to and including 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 — that's a huge number, but for mathematicians it isn't good enough.
- Goldbach Conjecture -- from Wolfram MathWorldThe conjecture that all odd numbers are the sum of three odd primes is called the "weak" Goldbach conjecture. Vinogradov (1937ab, 1954) proved that every sufficiently large odd number is the sum of three primes (Nagell 1951, p. 66; Guy 1994), and Estermann (1938) proved that almost all even numbers are the sums of two primes. Vinogradov's ...
- Christian Goldbach | Number Theory, Prussian Academy ... - BritannicaChristian Goldbach (born March 18, 1690, Königsberg, Prussia [now Kaliningrad, Russia]—died Nov. 20, 1764, Moscow, Russia) was a Russian mathematician whose contributions to number theory include Goldbach’s conjecture. In 1725 Goldbach became professor of mathematics and historian of the Imperial Academy at St. Petersburg.
