| Jul 25, 2010 at 5:40 | comment | added | Anweshi | Vinogradov is quite nice. Harald's wish is quite understandable. Take a look at Vinogradov's article contained in two sheets of paper, in which he derives a very strong result on Goldbach conjecture without using the Riemann hypothesis. If nothing else, this will show how condensed and effective he can be. | |

| Jul 16, 2010 at 12:52 | comment | added | H A Helfgott | My basic question is how to go about this. | |
| Jul 15, 2010 at 15:49 | comment | added | Anweshi | @ H A Helfgott. I do not want to be impolite. But I must point out that in spite of the five upvotes and four favoritings so far, you haven't asked any question here. You just stated your wish that a commentary for Vinogradov's book be made. | |

| Jul 14, 2010 at 11:21 | comment | added | Anweshi | So.. you are essentially asking for other people who have worked through the book, and have interesting comments to contribute? In other words, you are looking for contributors to build a commentary? | |

| Jul 13, 2010 at 22:13 | comment | added | H A Helfgott | Yes - the solutions we have - it's everything else that's missing! | |
| Jul 13, 2010 at 21:45 | comment | added | Anweshi | Hmm. I just took a look and it seems the solutions are given in the book itself. Which is great. | |
| Jul 13, 2010 at 20:58 | comment | added | mathphysicist | Just to help the discussion: here is the 1955 review of this book by L. Schoenfeld in the Bulletin of the AMS (open access): projecteuclid.org/DPubS/Repository/1.0/… | |
| Jul 13, 2010 at 20:45 | comment | added | H A Helfgott | Um, by raising our hands? By pointing out whether there's any discussion of Vinogradov's book in the literature? (I'm not aware of any.) By mentioning some of our favorite topics covered in Vinogradov's problems? | |
| Jul 13, 2010 at 19:47 | comment | added | Anweshi | Surely, it'll be a nice idea. But how can we Mathoverflow-ers help? | |
