3. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

   In mathematics, the theory of optimal stopping[1][2] or early stopping[3] is concerned with the problem of choosing a time to take a particular action, in order to maximise an expected reward or minimise an expected cost. Optimal stopping problems can be found in areas of statistics, economics, and mathematical finance (related to the pricing ...

   Worksheet generators are often used to develop the type of worksheets that contain a collection of similar problems. A worksheet generator is a software program that quickly generates a collection of problems, particularly in mathematics or numeracy. Such software is often used by teachers to make classroom materials and tests.

5. Goldbach's conjecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

   Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10 18 but remains unproven despite considerable effort.
