Fields Medal Typo
“The Fields Medal was designed in 1933. In the front of the medal we can see a portrait of Archimedes a quote and the date in Roman numerals. If you look closer you will notice that there seems to be a typo in the date: MCNXXXIII instead of MCMXXXIII”
FUN FACT

A Not So Famous Goldbach Conjecture
A Not So Famous Goldbach Conjecture
Today's paper is a good example of an unsolved conjecture being disproved by counterexample. Goldbach stated that every positive odd integer is either prime or the sum of a prime and twice a square. 5777 and 5993 are the only known counterexamples.https://t.co/hHGPmtwfUZ pic.twitter.com/difBwFeT53
