He traveled widely throughout Europe and met with many famous mathematicians, such as Leibniz, Leonhard Euler, and Nicholas I Bernoulli. Goldbach went to work at the newly opened St Petersburg Academy of Sciences and became tutor to the later Tsar Peter II.


Goldbach did important work in the mathematical field. He is remembered today for Goldbach's conjecture.
