Editing Goldbach's weak conjecture (section)

==Origins==
{{main|Goldbach's conjecture}}

The conjecture originated in correspondence between [[Christian Goldbach]] and [[Leonhard Euler]]. One formulation of the strong Goldbach conjecture, equivalent to the more common one in terms of sums of two primes, is 
:Every integer greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three primes.

The weak conjecture is simply this statement restricted to the case where the integer is odd (and possibly with the added requirement that the three primes in the sum be odd).
