 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)

"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

G.H Hardy Srinivasa Ramanujan Kurt Godel

 Interesting Storyline  Math is more than just numbers!  Abit confusing at times

 A good read  Recommend this book to people around our age group OR to people who are studying mathematics or just interested in it
