Honours Thesis: On a numerical upper bound for the extended Goldbach conjecture

Abstract:
This thesis explored upper bounds for the extended Goldbach conjecture, which bounds the number of ways a number N can be written as the sum of two primes. He provided both a stronger approximation to the Buchstab function, and experimental evidence indicating that lowering the current best known upper bound would be almost impossible using the current known methods.
