    Extractions: When Cambridge mathematician Andrew Wiles announced a solution for Fermat's last theorem in 1993, it electrified the world of mathematics. After a flaw was discovered in the proof, Wiles had to work for another yearhe had already laboured in solitude for seven yearsto establish that he had solved the 350-year-old problem. Simon Singh's book is a lively, comprehensible explanation of Wiles's work and of the colourful history that has build up around Fermat's last theorem over the years. The book contains some problems that offer a taste for the maths, but it also includes limericks to give a feeling for the quirkier side of mathematicians. Comment: This book is an intriguing overview of the history of Fermat's Last Theorem culminating in the recently discovered solution to it. I'm no mathematician but Singh does a good job of explaining the theorem and taking the reader through the early attempts at a solution. The liberal sprinkling of anecdotes help make it a fascinating read. However, as the history unfolds the mathematics becomes increasingly sophisticated and I felt that Singh realised it would be impossible to explain the intricacies of the most recent techniques to a general readership. Consequently, the explanations become increasingly generalised and I didn't feel that I came away with a good understanding of how the puzzle was finally resolved. Nevertheless it is a well written account of the history of the problem and I'd happily recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

    http://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/questionCorner/fermat3.html
    
    Extractions: Question Corner and Discussion Area Asked by Tommaso Russo on August 26, 1997 I've seen the proof for the n =4 case of Fermat's Last Theorem Is the the n =3 case similarly easy to prove? Was the proof known by Fermat? The proof that there are no integers X Y , and Z which satisfy the equation when n = 3 is similar to the proof in the case where n = 4 with the exception of a crucial lemma. The statement of the lemma is stated as follows: If x y , and z are integers such that and x and y are relatively prime then there exist integers a and b such that and The proof of this lemma hinges on some material which is typically covered in an advanced undergraduate or an introductory graduate abstract algebra course. Those who are interested in more reading on the subject and who have enough background in mathematics can find this lemma (together with hints) as exercise 4.6 in Daniel Flath's Introduction To Number Theory (see also exercises 7.6 and 7.8 for more information on cases n =3 and n =4 of Fermat's Last Theorem).

    Extractions: 1/(sqrt(2) - 1) = (sqrt(2) + 1)/1; replace the (sqrt 2) on the left-hand side of the equation with a1/b1. Solving for (sqrt 2), the following equation is derived: sqrt(2) = (2 - a1/b1)/(a1/b1 -1); Simplified, this becomes sqrt(2) = (2*b1 - a1)/(a1 -b1); sqrt(2) = a2/b2; This process can be repeated over and over an infinite amount of times, each time a(n+1) is less than a(n) and b(n+1) is less than b(n). In other words, there is an infinite descent through all positive integers which satisfy (sqrt 2) = a/b. Therefore, there exist no smallest positive integers, a and b, that satisifty (sqrt 2) = a/b. This is a contradiction, and thus, (sqrt 2) must not be a quotient of positive integers and therefore is irrational. Fermat effectively used this method of infinite descent in his circa 1640 where he proved that, the area of a pythagorean triangle cannot be a square. Or, in equation form, there is no integer solution to the following:

    Extractions: back to top Pythagoros's Theorem states that for a right angled triangle, x^2 +y^2=z^2, and there are a number of sets of whole numbers for which this is true, for example 3, 4 and 5, or 5, 12 and 13. Fermat's theorem is that there are no whole numbers for which x^n+y^n=z^n where n is a whole number greater than 2. Fermat was a 17th century French mathematician who didn't first suggest this idea, but he noted in the column of a book "I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain". He was almost certainly serious that he had a demonstration, but many people looked for a proof over the next three centuries without success. It was possible to prove that there was no solution for n=3, and no solution for n=4, and so on, but that's not a proof that there is no solution for any n greater than 2.

    Extractions: Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) was a lawyer and amateur mathematician. In about 1637, he annotated his copy (now lost) of Bachet's translation of Diophantus' Arithmetika with the following statement: Cubem autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos ejusdem nominis fas est dividere: cujus rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caparet. In English, and using modern terminology, the paragraph above reads as: There are no positive integers such that x n + y n = z n for . I've found a remarkable proof of this fact, but there is not enough space in the margin [of the book] to write it. Fermat never published a proof of this statement. It became to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) not because it was his last piece of work, but because it is the last remaining statement in the post-humous list of Fermat's works that needed to be proven or independently verified. All others have either been shown to be true or disproven long ago. What is the current status of FLT?
