    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. Sie haben die Form

    http://members.fortunecity.com/kokhuitan/fermat.html
    The Mathematics of Pierre de Fermat (1601 - 1665)(French)
    Fermat is perhaps the most well-known mathematician in the world. This is due to a conjecture stated by him, the famous (or infamous!) Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT). It states that there are no integral values of x y z which can satisfy the equation x n + y n = z n , where n is an integer>2. This problem has remain unsolved for 3 centuries (until recently). There are many other unsolved problems in Mathematics, so why is FLT such a big deal? The reason is that Fermat mentioned he had found the proof, but that the margin in the book was too narrow to contain the proof. His proof was never found (perhaps it did not exist at all, Fermat might have made a mistake in his 'proof') and nobody until recently could prove it either. Not even the great Prince of Mathematics, Gauss, could settle the issue. Of course, FLT is now fully resolved and we owe it to Andrew Wiles. Fermat was educated at home. As such, we can say he is an amateur mathematician. Despite this, he has contributed much to Mathematics, espicially to the field of Number Theory. Except a few isolated papers, Fermat published nothing in his lifetime, and gave no systematic exposition of his methods. Some of the most striking of his results were found after his death on loose sheets of paper or written in the margins of works which he had read and annotated, and are unaccompanied by any proof.

    http://71.1911encyclopedia.org/F/FE/FERMAT_PIERRE_DE.htm
    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.

    P i e r r e d e F e r m a t X n + Y n = Z n Matemático francês, nasceu a 17 de agosto de 1601 em Beaumont - de - Lomagne, perto de Montauban a sudoeste da França. Filho de Dominique Fermat, um rico comerciante de peles que o colocou no mosteiro franciscano de Grandselve recebendo, ali, uma educação privilegiada. Fez advocacia quando de sua passagem pela Universidade de Toulouse, tinha uma grande cultura clássica, conhecendo bem o grego e o latim, o que, tornaria possível ler as obras dos matemáticos antigos nos originais, apesar de ter a matemática, apenas como uma de sua distrações nos momentos de lazer. Entrou para o serviço público onde foi, em 1631, nomeado conseiller au Parlement de Toulouse, conselheiro na Câmara de Requerimentos. O objetivo da câmara era filtrar os requerimentos destinados ao Rei, formar um elo entre a província e Paris, servir de intermediário entre a população e o monarca e implementar as regiões dos decretos reais. Além de Fermat exercer o referido cargo, desempenhava, ainda, como tarefas adicionais, a prestação de serviço como juiz. Como servidor público, Fermat teve uma rápida ascensão e, em conseqüência, se tornou membro da elite o que dava direito ao uso do " de " como parte de seu nome.

      Fermat, Pierre de [pyer d u Pronunciation Key Fermat, Pierre de , French mathematician. A magistrate whose avocation was mathematics, Fermat is known as a founder of modern number theory and probability theory. He also did much to establish coordinate geometry (see Cartesian coordinates ) and invented a number of methods for determining maxima and minima that were later of use to Newton in applying the calculus. He noted without proof, although he claimed to have discovered one, the assertion now known as Fermat's Last Theorem, . which states that the equation x n y n z n , where x, y, z, and n are nonzero integers, has no solutions for n that are greater than 2. Prizes were offered for a proof of this theorem, and attempted proofs resulted in many developments in the theory of numbers. British mathematician Andrew Wiles described a proof of the conjecture in 1993, but a gap in the proof required additional work, which was completed in 1994. However, Wiles's proof involved mathematical concepts that were unknown in Fermat's lifetime, so whether Fermat had a valid proof remains conjecture. In optics Fermat recognized that of all possible paths, light takes the path that takes the least time; this fundamental rule is known as Fermat's principle.
