也许是因为徐迟的那篇充满激情和诗意的报告文学,也许是因为历史的因缘凑合,哥德巴赫猜想居然成了中国人家喻户晓的一个名词。这个词代表了一段传奇,代表了一代人的集体记忆,也代表了一个民族的光荣与梦想。直到今天,仍然有难以计数的人们,大学老师、中学老师,甚至工人、农民,为哥德巴赫猜想着魔。我们无法准确地评价延续20多年的“哥德巴赫猜想现象”。不同的人站在不同的视角上,都可以生发出自己的思考。而下面的文章,则纯粹从学术的角度介绍了哥德巴赫猜想的研究历史,也是一篇很好的科普文章。希望有助于人们更深入地了解哥德巴赫猜想,当然,我们也把此文献给逝去的潘承洞先生——他的名字已经镌刻在哥德巴赫猜想研究的年表上。 Perhaps because of Xu Chi’s passionate and poetic reportage, perhaps due to historical impediments, Goldbach’s conjecture became a household name among Chinese people. The term represents a legend, represents the collective memory of a generation, and also represents the glory and dream of a nation. Even today, there are still countless people, university teachers, secondary school teachers, and even workers and peasants, who have enchanted Goldbach. We cannot accurately evaluate the “Goldbach Conjecture” that lasted more than 20 years. Different people stand on different perspectives and can give birth to their own thinking. The following article, purely from an academic point of view, introduced the research history of Goldbach’s conjecture and is also a good science article. The hope is to help people understand Goldbach’s conjecture more deeply. Of course, we also gave this document to Mr. Pan Chengdong, who died - his name has been engraved on the chronology of the Goldbach conjecture.
