Dear All,
Read the two emails below and see the link for a small gift from Dr. Artzt via math professor Kris Klosin.
Enjoy!

It is really exciting to hear the proof of the Goldbach Conjecture from the person who proved it!!!

Dear all,
as most of you know the Weak Goldbach's Conjecture states that every odd integer greater than 5 can be written as a sum of 3 primes. The Conjecture was proven in 2013 by
Harald Helfgott who is now a professor at University of Goettingen.
This Summer I am teaching a class intended mostly for Math Ed graduate students called "The Invitation to Modern Mathematics". In that class we discuss the Conjecture and
some simple aspects of its proof. A few days ago I asked Harald Helfgott if he would agree to meet virtually with my students to discuss his work and answer their questions to which he has graciously agreed. The meeting took place last Friday over Zoom. If
any one of you is interested in seeing the recording, here is the link.
