2. Sums of three cubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sums_of_three_cubes

   In the mathematics of sums of powers, it is an open problem to characterize the numbers that can be expressed as a sum of three cubes of integers, allowing both positive and negative cubes in the sum. A necessary condition for an integer to equal such a sum is that cannot equal 4 or 5 modulo 9, because the cubes modulo 9 are 0, 1, and −1, and ...

3. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

   Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

4. Sum of four cubes problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_four_cubes_problem

   The sum of four cubes problem [1] asks whether every integer is the sum of four cubes of integers. It is conjectured the answer is affirmative, but this conjecture has been neither proven nor disproven. [2] Some of the cubes may be negative numbers, in contrast to Waring's problem on sums of cubes, where they are required to be positive.

5. Waring's problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waring's_problem

   In number theory, Waring's problem asks whether each natural number k has an associated positive integer s such that every natural number is the sum of at most s natural numbers raised to the power k. For example, every natural number is the sum of at most 4 squares, 9 cubes, or 19 fourth powers. Waring's problem was proposed in 1770 by Edward ...

6. Goldbach's conjecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

   See Waring's problem and the related Waring–Goldbach problem on sums of powers of primes. Hardy and Littlewood listed as their Conjecture I: "Every large odd number (n > 5) is the sum of a prime and the double of a prime". This conjecture is known as Lemoine's conjecture and is also called Levy's conjecture.

7. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, the operation of adding infinitely many quantities, one after the other, to a given starting quantity. [1] The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis. Series are used in most areas of mathematics, even for studying finite structures (such as in ...
