Goldbach's conjecture
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by CalebRookwood (talk | contribs) at 19:05, September 8, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Goldbach's conjecture is that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two prime numbers. Goldbach considered 1 to be a prime number, a convention not often in use today.
This conjecture is one of the oldest unsettled statements in mathematics. For centuries mathematicians have attempted to prove this statement, without success.
