*I came, I saw, I lived.*

—-Victor Hugo

I am still looking for the poem in question. Please when you find it, let me know about it. I remember Victor Hugo wrote it when he was very old and wearing. The masterpiece "Les Miserables" is breath taking!.

Mathematics

There are too many conjectures.

—-wisdom kwaku ameyedowo

The whole point is this: if a problem is fully defined, I beleive we there is no need to state a conjecture. The reason is very simple. The same problem is expressed differently in another language. Most conjectures now are uncessarily hidden in complexity, for the beauty of mathematics.

A very simplely stated conjecture like Goldbach's conjecture (" every even number greater than 4 is the sum of two prime numbers") could be dealt with if we consider the Diophantine equation =, where <> and <> spane the set of primes. Most of the problems in number theory and modelling could be easily solved if ones grips on Diophantine equations are very very firms.
