The statue of Chen Jingrun at Xiamen University. In number theory, Chen's theorem states that every sufficiently large even number can be written as the sum of either two primes, or a prime and a semiprime (the product of two primes). It is a weakened form of Goldbach's conjecture, which states that every even number is the sum of two primes.

1949 — Atle Selberg and Paul Erdős give the first elementary proof of the prime number theorem. 1966 — Chen Jingrun proves Chen's theorem, a close approach to proving the Goldbach conjecture. 1967 — Robert Langlands formulates the influential Langlands program of conjectures relating number theory and representation theory.
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions.German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."

The 2022 United States Olympic figure skaters finally experienced the feeling of having a gold medal placed around their necks — nearly 2 1/2 years after their winning performance at the Winter ...
Traditionally, number theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of integers and many of its open problems are easily understood even by non-mathematicians. More generally, the field has come to be concerned with a wider class of problems that arise naturally from the study of integers.
