Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
Teo tells us about his work in artificial intelligence, his travels around the world, and how inspiration sometimes strikes in the pub.
Clouds make the weather, yet their detail isn't taken into account in weather forecasts. Artificial intelligence might be able to help.
Predicting the weather is hard. With more data and computing power becoming available, artificial intelligence can help.
How does your phone know what the weather's going to be like?
How a little insect can cause chaos.
Odd primes presumably means different primes. (rather than all the primes except 2, i.e. odd numbered primes)
Thus I fail to see how the number 6 (an even number greater than 4) can be partitioned into 2 odd primes. Unless of course you are considering the number 1 as a prime.
Of course 6 can be partitioned into 3 and 3 but then where does the 'odd prime' clause come in?
So I would word the conjecture in one of two ways -
"Every even number greater than 6 can be written as the sum of 2 different primes"
or
"Every even number greater than 4 can be written as sum of 2 primes which are not necessarily different"
Forgive me my ignorance... and thanks for the great article
