- paxys 4y agoGoldbach's conjecture is possibly the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics. When people refer to prime number conjecture, this is the most obvious one everyone's thoughts will go to.
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoI'd say the Riemann hypothesis is more famous. Goldbach's conjecture didn't make the Milennium Prize Problems list, and Perleman's refusal of the award for his proof of the Poincaré conjecture popularized that list quite widely.
- kevinventullo 4y agoI thought it was just what they called the Prime Number Theorem before it was proved.
