Father Occupation: Merchant His father had a prosperous leather business. He was also second consul (whatever that might have been) of Beaumont. Fermat's uncle and godfather was also a merchant. His mother brought the social status of the parliamentary noblesse de la robe to the family. This certainly says at least affluence. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Orleans, LD He received a solid classical secondary education, beginning at the convent of the Cordeliers in Beaumont (run by the Franciscans). After studying with the Franciscans, he then studied with the Jesuits. He may have attended the University of Toulouse. He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Civil Laws from the University of Orleans in 1631.

Pierre had a brother and two sisters and was almost certainly brought up in the town of his birth. Although there is little evidence concerning his school education it must have been at the local Franciscan monastery. He attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620s. In Bordeaux he began his first serious mathematical researches and in 1629 he gave a copy of his restoration of Apollonius 's Plane loci to one of the mathematicians there. Certainly in Bordeaux he was in contact with Beaugrand Pierre de Fermat. For the remainder of his life he lived in Toulouse but as well as working there he also worked in his home town of Beaumont-de-Lomagne and a nearby town of Castres. From his appointment on 14 May 1631 Fermat worked in the lower chamber of the parliament but on 16 January 1638 he was appointed to a higher chamber, then in 1652 he was promoted to the highest level at the criminal court. Still further promotions seem to indicate a fairly meteoric rise through the profession but promotion was done mostly on seniority and the plague struck the region in the early 1650s meaning that many of the older men died. Fermat himself was struck down by the plague and in 1653 his death was wrongly reported, then corrected:-

Fermat, Pierre de (16011665) Fermat was born to a prosperous family in France. He studied the classics and mastered Latin, Greek, Italian, and Spanish. O ne of the seventeenth century’s greatest mathematicians, Fermat hesitated to publish his work and rarely wrote complete descriptions even for his own use. Most of his work was reported in correspondence with fellow mathematicians, Gassendi, Huygens , and Mersenne. Fermat was one of the co-founders, along with Descartes, of analytic geometry. He benefited from reading Viète's works. Fermat's book Ad locos planos et solidos isagoge Introduction to Plane and Solid Loci ) contained a more direct and clearer system than Descartes La g om trie Fermat is probably most famous for his work in number theory. His famous unproved “last theorem” (that a n = b n + c n After many talented mathematicians over the period of hundreds of years failed to prove it, t his famous theorem was recently proved by Andrew Wiles of Princeton. Fermat's name slipped into relative obscurity until the late 1800s, and it was from an edition of his works published at the turn of the century that the true importance of his many achievements became clear. Besides his work in physics and number theory, Fermat realized the concept that the area under a curve could be viewed as the limit of sums of rectangle areas (as we do today) and also developed a method for finding the centroids of shapes bounded by curves in the plane.

PIERRE DE FERMAT FERMAT, PIERRE DE Fermat was for some time councillor for the parliament of Toulouse, and in the discharge of the duties of that office he was distinguished both for legal knowledge and for strict integrity of conduct. Though the sciences were the principal objects of his private studies, he was also an accomplished general scholar and an excellent linguist. He died at Toulouse on the 12th of January f 665. He left a son, Samuel de Fermat (163o169o) who published translations of several Greek authOrs and wrote certain books on law in addition to editing his fathers works. The Opera mathematica of Fermat were published at Toulouse, in 2 vois. folio, I670 and 1679. The first contains the Arithmetic of Diophantus, with notes and additions. The second includes a Method for the Quadrature of Parabolas, and a treatise on Maxima and Minima, on Tangents, and on Centres of Gravity, containing the same solutions of a variety of problems as were afterwards incorporated into the more extensive method of fluxions by Newton and Leibnitz. In the same volume are treatises on Geometric Loci, or Spherical Tangencies, and on the Rectification of Curves, besides a restoration of Apolloniuss Plane Loci, together with the authors correspondence addressed to Descartes, Pascal, Roberval, Huygens and others. The fEuvres of Fermat have been re-edited by P. Tannery and C. Henry (Paris, 1891-1894). See Paul Tannery, Sur Ia date des principales dbcouvertes de Fermat, in the Bulletin Darboux (1883); and Les Manuscrits de Fermat, in the Annales de Ia facult des lettres de Bordeaux.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality French Fermat, Pierre de (1601-1665) French lawyer who pursued mathematics in his spare time. Although he pursued mathematics as an amateur, his work in number theory was of such exceptional quality and erudition that he is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. He had the habit of scribbling notes in the margins of books or in letters to friends rather than publishing them. He discovered analytic geometry independently of Descartes , but did not publish his work. He founded the theory of probability with Pascal and discovered the least time principle which states that light will travel through an optical system in such a way as to pass from starting to ending point in the least amount of time (a concept from calculus of variations ). Fermat solved many fundamental calculus problems, and made important contributions to number theory and optics. He was also fluent in French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and Greek. He is most famous for scribbling a note in the margin of a book by Diophantus that he had discovered a proof that the equation x n y n z n has no integer solutions for n >2. He stated "I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which however the margin is not large enough to contain." The proposition, which came to be known as

Home Geschichte Mathematiker Zitate ... Suche Pierre de Fermat 1607 - 12.1.1665, Toulouse Das Geburtsjahr wird in vielen Büchern als 1601 angegeben (s. dazu die Bemerkung weiter unten). Sein Werk, oder besser gesagt, seine Freizeitbeschäftigung, ist seine Mathematik, denn er widmete sich ihr aus reiner Liebe zur Sache. Vieles ist sehr einfach, so dass jeder normalbegabte Schuljunge die Grundgedanken würdigen kann und seine Schönheit versteht. Sein Werk, die Zahlentheorie, ist vielleicht noch das einzige Gebiet in der Mathematik, auf dem auch heute noch ein begabter Amateur hoffen kann, etwas Interessantes zu finden. Fermat war aber darüberhinaus ein vortrefflicher Linguist, der Latein und Griechisch beherrschte und französische und spanische Verse verfasste. Fermats Stellung als königlicher Rat war eher eine Hilfe als ein Nachteil für seine geistige Tätigkeit. Fermat befasste sich viel mit Maxima und Minima. Von seinem Prinzip leitete er die bekannten Reflexions- und Brechungsgesetze ab. Er war es auch, der die analytische Geometrie auf den drei-dimensionalen Raum anwandte. Fermat stellte viele Vermutungen auf und irrte sich auch manchmal (Mersenne'sche Zahlen, Lösung von Diophantischen Gleichungen). Berühmt in diesem Zusammenhang sind die sog. Fermatzahlen.
