THE “last theorem of Fermat” states that if x, y, z, p denote positive integers, the equation X p + Y p =Z p is impossible if p exceeds 2: thus ho cube can be the sum of two cubes, and so on.

That's Fermat's Last Theorem. NOVA: So Fermat said because he ... I tried doing calculations which explain some little piece of mathematics. I tried to fit it in with some previous broad ...

In this module we study intergers, primes and equations. Topics covered include linear and quadratic congruences, Fermat Little Theorem and Euler's Theorem, the RSA cryptosystem, Quadratic Reciprocity ...

But I confess that Fermat's Last Theorem as an isolated proposition has very little interest for me, for I could easily lay down a multitude of such propositions, which one could neither prove nor ...

Now, a team of mathematicians led by a prominent Kyoto University professor has offered an alternative proof to Fermat's Last Theorem, the potential second solution in the past quarter-century.
