~. Introduction. zI It was asserted by GOLDBACH, in a letter to" EuLER dated 7 June, 1742, that every even number 2m is the sum o/two odd primes, ai~ d this propos ition has generally been described as' Goldbach's Theorem'. There is no reasonable doubt that the theorem is correct, and that the number of representations is large when m is large; but all attempts to obtain a proof have been completely unsuccessful. Indeed it has never been shown that every number (or every large number, any number, that is to say, from a certain point onwards) is the sum of xo primes, or of i oooooo; and the problem was quite recently classified as among those'beim gegenwiirtigen Stande der Wissensehaft unangreifbar'.~ In this memoir we attack the problem with the aid of our new transcendental method in'additiver Zahlentheorie'.~ We do not solve it: we do not i E.
