* [[Chen Jingrun]] publishes [[Chen's theorem]]: every [[sufficiently large]] [[even number]] can be written as the sum of a [[prime number|prime]] and a [[semiprime]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Tony|last=Crilly|title=50 Mathematical Ideas you really need to know|location=London|publisher=Quercus|year=2007|isbn=978-1-84724-008-8|page=37}}</ref>

* [[Euler's sum of powers conjecture]] is disproven by [[Leon J. Lander|L. J. Lander]] and [[Thomas Parkin (mathematician)|T. R. Parkin]] when, through a direct computer search on a [[CDC 6600]], they have found the counterexample 27<sup>5</sup> + 84<sup>5</sup> + 110<sup>5</sup> + 133<sup>5</sup> = 144<sup>5</sup>.
