  Goldbach biography
Goldbach was recording secretary for the opening ceremony of the Academy which was held on 27 December 1725, and continued to act in this role until January 1728.
Goldbach was appointed to the position and he moved to Moscow when Peter moved the court there in January 1728.
Goldbach's problem, however, was that as well as being heavily involved with the administration of the Academy, he was also rising to more responsible roles in the government of Russia.

In mathematics, Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest unsolved problems in number theory and in all of mathematics.
The former conjecture is known today as the "weak" Goldbach conjecture, the latter as the "strong" Goldbach conjecture.
The strong Goldbach conjecture is in fact very similar to the twin prime conjecture, and the two conjectures are believed to be of roughly comparable difficulty.

In mathematics, Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest unsolved problemss in number theory and in all of mathematics.
The majority of mathematicians believe the (strong) conjecture to be true, mostly based on statistical considerations focusing on the probabilistic distribution of prime numbers: the bigger the even number, the more "likely" it becomes that it can be written as a sum of two primes.
H.A. Pogorzelski circulated a proof of the Goldbach conjecture in 1977, but this work is not generally accepted in mathematical circles.

The Goldbach conjecture states that any positive even number greater than or equal to 4 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.
For purposes of this problem, 1 is not considered a prime number, but 2 is considered a prime number.
Note, answers to this problem are not necessarily unique and the order of the primes does not matter.

Goldbach's conjecture says that every integer larger than 2 can be expressed (perhaps in many ways) as a sum of two primes.
To be sure, this problem sounds rather specialized, but it's still rather surprising to imagine that only one set of numbers meeting the stated conditions can exist.
Now that Fermat's problem has been solved, one might wonder whether there are any interesting generalizations to consider, or in fact any other problems in the area of Diophantine equations that are similarly important and challenging.

 Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture by Apostolos Doxiadis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This is probably what lies at the heart of Goldbach's Conjecture: he speculated that the bigger the even number, the more likely it would be that he was correct, since the number of chances would multiply.
For Goldbach, this meant that he could quite happily make his conjecture, because the chances of his being proved wrong were so small, (probably smaller than the chance of someone winning the lottery and being killed by a meteorite on the same night!).
The one big problem with Goldbach's Conjecture is that there seems to be no magic formula with which to prove it, with the only way forward seeming to be to check every even number in existence, to see if Goldbach is right.

In this well-written expository paper, the author surveys the history of prime number theory with an emphasis on the twin prime problem; in particular, there is a short biography with a photo of Viggo Brun, a pioneer in the study of this problem.
The topics covered are: sums of polygonal numbers; elementary results on Waring's problem, including Hilbert's work; the Hardy-Littlewood method; estimates for primes; Brun's theorem on twin primes; the Selberg sieve; Shnirelman's theorem on the Goldbach problem; Vinogradov's 3 primes theorem; the linear sieve; and Chen's theorem.
The reader is left in the dark regarding both the variety and type of problem being studied, and the depth and sophistication of the tools being used in modern number theory.

 Primesbehaviour
In 1742, a Prussian mathematician called Christian Goldbach felt interested about the relation between prime numbers (all those numbers that only can be divided by themselves and 1 –all the others are called composite numbers-) and even numbers.
In a letter written to the great mathematician Leonard Euler, he proposed a problem that has been called ‘Goldbach Conjecture’, which says that any even number can be expressed as the addition of two prime numbers.
The problem now is that in the figure we see all the combinations, and we only need those composed for 2 prime numbers: we look for GC’s.

In addition, we have verified the Goldbach conjecture for all of the even numbers in the intervals $[10\sp {5i},10\sp {5i}+10\sp 8]$, for $i=3,4,\cdots,20$ and $[10\sp {10i},10\sp {10i}+10\sp 9]$, for $i=20,21,\cdots,30$.
This implies that the odd Goldbach hypothesis is a consequence of GRH.
