Abstract
Goldbach’s Ternary (or Weak) Conjecture states that all odd numbers greater than five can be expressed as the sum of three primes and dates from 1742. Helfgott’s recent proof relied in part on substantial (but finite!) computer verification both of the conjecture itself and of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis. We will describe both computations emphasising to what extent they can be regarded as rigorous.
