   Extractions: Publication Introduction In his famous letter to Leonhard Euler dated June 7th 1742, Christian Goldbach first conjectures that every number that is a sum of two primes can be written as a sum of "as many primes as one wants". Goldbach considered 1 as a prime and gives a few examples. On the margin of his letter, he then states his famous conjecture that every number is a sum of three primes: This is easily seen to be equivalent to that every even number is a sum of two primes which is referred to as the (Binary) Goldbach Conjecture . Its weaker form, the Ternary Goldbach Conjecture states that every odd number can be written as a sum of three primes. The ternary conjecture has been proved under the assumption of the truth of the generalized Riemann hypothesis and remains unproved unconditionally for only a finite (but yet not computationally coverable) set of numbers. Although believed to be true, the binary Goldbach conjecture is still lacking a proof. . The program was distributed to various workstations. It kept track of maximal values of the smaller prime p in the minimal partition of the even numbers, where a minimal partition is a representation 2n = p + q with 2n - p' being composite for all p'

   Extractions: Goldbach's original conjecture (sometimes called the "ternary" Goldbach conjecture), written in a June 7, 1742 letter to Euler states that every integer is the sum of three primes (Goldbach 1742; Dickson 1957, p. 421). As re-expressed by Euler an equivalent of this conjecture (called the "strong" or "binary" Goldbach conjecture) asserts that all positive even integers can be expressed as the sum of two primes . Two primes ( p, q ) such that for n a positive integer are sometimes called a Goldbach partition (Oliveira e Silva). According to Hardy (1999, p. 19), "It is comparatively easy to make clever guesses; indeed there are theorems, like 'Goldbach's Theorem', which have never been proved and which any fool could have guessed." Faber and Faber offered a $1,000,000 prize to anyone who proved Goldbach's conjecture between March 20, 2000 and March 20, 2002, but the prize went unclaimed and the conjecture remains open. Schnirelman (1939) proved that every even number can be written as the sum of not more than 300,000

   Extractions: (another Prime Pages ' Glossary entries) Glossary: Prime Pages: Goldbach wrote a letter to Euler dated June 7, 1742 suggesting (roughly) that every even integer is the sum of two integers p and q where each of p and q are either one or odd primes . Now we often word this as follows: Goldbach's conjecture : Every even integer n greater than two is the sum of two primes. This is easily seen to be equivalent to Every integer n greater than five is the sum of three primes. There is little doubt that this result is true, as Euler replied to Goldbach: That every even number is a sum of two primes, I consider an entirely certain theorem in spite of that I am not able to demonstrate it. Progress has been made on this problem, but slowlyit may be quite awhile before the work is complete. For example, it has been proven that every even integer is the sum of at most six primes (Goldbach suggests two) and in 1966 Chen proved every sufficiently large even integer is the sum of a prime plus a number with no more than two prime factors (a P Vinogradov in 1937 showed that every sufficiently large odd integer can be written as the sum of at most three primes, and so every sufficiently large integer is the sum of at most four primes.

    Extractions: Year: 1992 This novel, recently (2000) translated from Greek, follows the attempts of fictional mathematician Petros Papachristos to prove Goldbach's Conjecture (that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes) and the frustrations of his nephew to whom he presents the problem as an elementary test of his mathematical skills. Real mathematicians (Hardy, Ramanujan, Turing, Littlewood, Caratheodory and Godel) appear in fictionalized form in this story as well. We have on the word of Sir Michael Atiyah that "[This book] is brilliantly written a mathematical detective story of great charm-and it certainly succeeds in capturing much of the spirit of mathematical research." (What more could you ask for?) "This novel offers an excellent dramatic account of the search for truth and obsession with mathematical certainty, which mathematics itself (!) tells us is unattainable. The fictional Uncle Petros finds out from Alan Turing that `truth is not always provable'." (Contributed by Vassilis Kyrtatas) "In my opinion, this is a grave misrepresentation of mathematicians. There is also a serious mathematical mistake underlying one of the main `events' in the book: Uncle Petros wants to talk to Godel to know whether it is decidable whether a particular problem ([Goldbach Conjecture], in his case) is provable or not. Unfortunately, as should be clear to any mathematically inclined person, if we can prove that [Goldbach] is undecidable, then it must be true (since, if it is false, a counterexample exists, which is a valid counterproof). Hence we can never prove that such a proposition is undecidable. Literarywise, I was not so impressed, either. Overall I found the book to be a quick, but unsatisfying read."

That is the casual dismissal Doxiadis' narrator receives when he asks his father about his reclusive uncle Petros Papachristos, who seems to spend all of his spare time gardening at his home in Ekali, a hamlet on the outskirts of Athens. (The novel is translated from Greek and was published in Greece in 1992.) Naturally, the narrator becomes curious, deciding to find out for himself the information his father fails to provide. Fortunately for us, he takes his reader along, as he pokes around the reclusive Petros's house and craftily reroutes and intercepts his uncle's mail.

    Extractions: In 1742, Christian Goldbach, a German amateur mathematician, sent a letter to Leonhard Euler in which he made the following conjecture: Every even number greater than 4 can be written as the sum of two odd prime numbers. For example: = 3 + 5. Both 3 and 5 are odd prime numbers. Today it is still unproven whether the conjecture is right. (Oh wait, I have the proof of course, but it is too long to write it on the margin of this page.) Anyway, your task is now to verify Goldbach's conjecture for all even numbers less than a million.

    Extractions: Fat C. Lam INTRODUCTION. In a letter dated June 7, 1742 to Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler, Christian Goldbach suggested that every odd number is the sum of three primes. Euler took it a step further by stating that every even number (greater than 2) is the sum of two primes. Today, nearly three centuries later, Goldbach’s conjecture is yet unproven. Some progress has been made but the conjecture is still far from being proved. In 1937, Goldbach’s original suggestion that every odd number is the sum of three primes was proved by Russian mathematician Ivan Vinogradov. But a proof of the conjecture which today bears Goldbach’s name is still elusive. In 1996, Chinese mathematician Jing-Run Chen proved a theorem that every even number is the sum of a prime and an ‘almost prime,’ which is sort of close to the Goldbach Conjecture (GC). (A number is almost prime if is has at most two factors.) EXAMPLES Examples of Goldbach’s Conjecture: For each even integer c, there may be more than one distinct representation of c. For instance

    Extractions: A mathematical conjecture unsolved for two centuries; a mathematical genius uncle driven mad trying to solve it; an ambiguous relation with a mathematically-minded nephew; and acute human observation all come together in Uncle Petros to make a very funny, tender, charming and, to my mind, irresistable novel. Book Description In the tradition of Fermat's Last Theorem and Einstein's Dreams, a novel about mathematical obsession. Petros Papachristos devotes the early part of his life trying to prove one of the greatest mathematical challenges of all time: Goldbach's Conjecture, the deceptively simple claim that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes. Against a tableau of famous historical figuresamong them G.H. Hardy, the self-taught Indian genius Srinivasa Ramanujan, and a young Kurt GodelPetros works furiously to prove the notoriously difficult conjecture, but suddenly disappears into a solitary existence playing chess in the Greek countryside. To his nephew, he is known as the solitary, eccentric Uncle Petros, but when the young man finds out that his uncle is an esteemed professor of mathematics, he searches out his uncle's hidden past. Through an adversarial friendship based on chess and mathematics, he drives the retired mathematician back into the hunt to prove Goldbach's Conjecture... but at the cost of the old man's sanity, and perhaps even his life.

    Extractions: by Apostolos Doxiadis Although Uncle Petros remained expressionless, I noticed a slight tremor run down his hand. "Who's spoken to you about Goldbach's Conjecture?" he asked quietly. "My father," I murmured. :And what did he say, precisely?" "That you tried to prove it." "Just that?" "And.... that you didn't succeed." His hand was steady again. "Nothing else?" "Nothing else." "Hm," he said. "Suppose we make a deal?" "What sort of deal?" Intrigued? Then read on. Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture Pi, it is not clear that nonmathematicians who read the book will view mathematics as an attractive pursuit, or mathematicians as completely sane. But most nonmathematicians probably think that already anyway.) The book is really the story of two generations of obsession, the one a quest for the solution to a mathematical problem, the other a young man's search for the truth about the uncle his family shuns and derides for having thrown away his life. The story is told in the words of the young nephew, who has just completed his own mathematics degree. He discovers that his Uncle Petros Papachristos, whom he has known hitherto solely as a reclusive gardener his father refuses to talk about, was a child prodigy in mathematics, the youngest ever professor of mathematics at the University of Munich, and at one point a collaborator of Hardy and Littlewood. (Ramanujan, Gödel, and Turing also make cameo appearances in the novel.)
