Extract

On Waring's problem for cubes, it is conjectured that every sufficiently large natural number can be represented as a sum of four cubes of natural numbers. Denoting by E(N) the number of the natural numbers up to N that cannot be written as a sum of four cubes, we may express the conjecture as E(N)≪1.
