In 1742 C. Goldbach wrote a letter to the eminent Euler,
stating therein the celebrated "Goldbach conjecture," essentially
that every even integer exceeding 2 is a sum of two primes.
Here in 2001 this great conjecture remains unresolved.
The lecturer will describe some modern approaches to the
problem, including a certain fusion of number theory (mathematics)
and signal processing (engineering/physics), applying not
only to the Goldbach problem but to so-called "additive" problems
in general.
