Ivan Matveyevich Vinogradov
Ivan Matveevich Vinogradov was a Soviet mathematician, who was one of the creators of modern analytic number theory, and also a dominant figure in mathematics in the USSR. He was born in the Velikiye Luki district, Pskov Oblast. He graduated from the University of St...

Vinogradov's theorem
In number theory, Vinogradov's theorem implies that any sufficiently large odd integer can be written as a sum of three prime numbers. It is a weaker form of Goldbach's conjecture, which would imply the existence of such a representation for all odd integers greater than five. It is named after...

Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem
In mathematics, the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem is a major result of analytic number theory, obtained in the mid-1960s. The first result of this kind was obtained by Barban in 1961 and the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem is a refinement of Barban's result. The Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem is named...
