Derived out of the Number Theory

A conjecture proposed by Christian Goldbach in 1742:

“Every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes” (Doxiadis, 82)

Page 3: Derived out of the Number Theory  A conjecture proposed by Christian Goldbach in 1742: “Every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes”

"There is little doubt that this result is true... that every even number is a sum of two primes, I consider [this] an entirely certain theorem in spite of that I am not able to demonstrate it.“

- Leonhard Eluer

Interesting Storyline

Math is more than just numbers!

Abit confusing at times

A good read
