He didn't care much about formal credit and didn't get much. The scope of his achievements thus wasn't realized until decades after his death. Fermat earned his bread as a counselor for the Toulouse parliament . Math was something he did in his spare time. And in that spare time he discovered analytic geometry (independently of Descartes); founded a theory of probability (in collaboration with Pascal); and explored the properties of whole numbers (picking up where the Greek mathematician Diophantus left off about thirteen centuries earlier). Fermat is best known for a discovery he didn't make—or which he may or may not, probably did not, make. In one of those cramped margins, in a book on Diophantus, he suggested that a certain equation

Quantum Physics Pampered Chef Paintball Guns Cell Phone Reviews ... Science Articles Pierre de Fermat Online Encyclopedia Pierre de Fermat August 17 January 12 ) was a French mathematician who is generally given minor credit for the development of modern calculus ; in particular, for his work regarding tangents and stationary points. His work was such that he is sometimes regarded as the "father" of, both, differential calculus and number theory . He also made notable contributions to analytic geometry and probability Fermat was born near Montauban France ; he died at Castres. Fermat worked on number theory while preparing an edition of Diophantus , and the notes and comments thereon contained the numerous theorems of considerable elegance necessary to develop the theory of numbers. Fermat is famous for his "Enigma" that was an extension of Pythagorean Theorem, also known as Fermat's Last Theorem. Together with René Descartes , Fermat was one of the two leading mathematicians of the first half of the 17th century . Independently of Descartes, he discovered the fundamental principle of analytic geometry . Through his correspondence with Blaise Pascal , he was a co-founder of the theory of probability See also: Euler's conjecture Euler's theorem Fermat's Last Theorem Fermat's little theorem ...

2 for which the equation xn + yn = zn holds true for the positive integers x, y, and z. Fermat claimed in his note to have discovered a '"very wonderful demonstration" (demonstratio sane mirabilis) of this theorem that the margin was too narrow to contain, a claim that has tantalized mathematicians ever since. The remainder of Fermat's notes contained a large number of theorems on the theory of numbers, only one of which he himself proved; the rest were proven in the eighteenth century' (Norman catalogue). Of course since the above was written Fermat's theorem has been proved by Andrew Wiles, with the collaboration of several other mathematicians. The collation of this copy agrees with Norman and several other copies recorded. However, a very few copies contain a portrait, and occasionally an errata leaf, both of which appear to have been issued later as witnessed by the number of copies in their original bindings, as this one, with no evidence of removal.

Fermat, Pierre de Francouzský právník, který studoval matematiku ve svých volných chvílích. Pøestože matematiku studoval jen jako amatér, byly jeho teorie na velmi výjimeèné úrovni a ne nadarmo se o nìm øíká, že patøí mezi nejvìtší matematiky všech dob. Mìl takový zvyk psát si své poznámky na okraje knih nebo je posílat dopisem pøátelùm, než je publikovat. Objevil analytickou geometrii nezávisle na Descartesovi, ale nepublikoval ji. Spolu s Pascalem vystavìli teorii pravdìpodobnosti a sám v optice objevil princip nekratšího èasu, dnes pojmenovaný na jeho poèest Fermatùv princip. Ten spoèívá v tom, že svìtlo mezi dvìma body neprostupuje prostøedím nekratší možnou cestou, ale vybírá si cestu, která je èasovì nejkratší. Dále provedl mnoho základních výpoètù a odvodil mnoho zákonù v optice. Plynnì hovoøil Francouzsky, Italsky, Latinsky, Španìlsky a Øecky. Byl proslulý psaním poznámek na okraje knih a jednou odvodil, že rovnice x n y n z n nemá celoèíselné øešení pro n >2. Øekl: "Vymyslel jsem opravdu krásný dùkaz, který nezaplní ani okraj této stránky". Povedlo se to prokázat až v roce 1995 panu A. Willesovi.

HOME PAGE Second edition The Mathematical Career of Pierre de Fermat, 1601-1665 Michael Sean Mahoney Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Hailed as one of the greatest mathematical results of the twentieth century, the recent proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles brought to public attention the enigmatic problem-solver Pierre de Fermat, who centuries ago stated his famous conjecture in a margin of a book, writing that he did not have enough room to show his "truly marvelous demonstration." Along with formulating this propositionxn+yn=zn has no rational solution for n > 2Fermat, an inventor of analytic geometry, also laid the foundations of differential and integral calculus, established, together with Pascal, the conceptual guidelines of the theory of probability, and created modern number theory. In one of the first full-length investigations of Fermat's life and work, Michael Sean Mahoney provides rare insight into the mathematical genius of a hobbyist who never sought to publish his work, yet who ranked with his contemporaries Pascal and Descartes in shaping the course of modern mathematics. Reviews: "Mahoney's sensitive handling of the material, his sharp appreciation of conceptual and notational subtleties, and his willingness to detail or reconstruct proofs and procedures, now make possible an appreciation of the real power and variety of Fermat's invention."Alan Gabbey
