The Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem by R.Taylor and A.Wiles Gerd Faltings T he proof of the conjecture mentioned in the title was finally completed in Septem-ber of 1994. A. Wiles announced this result in the summer of 1993; however, there was a gap in his work. The paper of Taylor and Wiles does not close this gap but circumvents it. This article

If Fermat’s Last Theorem were false, this would require either a conspiracy theory , or a quasi-conspiracy theory. “The conspiracy theory, of course, would be that mathematicians as a body know that Fermat’s Last Theorem is false, but do not want

Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a proof by British mathematician Andrew Wiles of a special case of the modularity theorem for elliptic curves.

The proof of the Fermat’s Last Theorem will be derived utilizing such a geometrical representation of integer numbers raised to an integer power. The leading thought throughout the derivation is illustrated in Fig. 1. When one super-cube made up of unit cubes is subtracted from a

The proof is based on binomial theorem that allowed to deduce polynomial expressions of terms a, b, c required for them to satisfy as integers equation. (1) According to the Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) it cannot be true when a, b, c and n are positive integers and n>2 Lemma-1.

An Overview of the Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem Glenn Stevens The principal aim of this article is to sketch the proof of the following famous assertion. Fermat’s Last Theorem. For n > 2, we have FLT(n) : an +bn = cn a,b,c 2 Z =) abc = 0. Many special cases of Fermat’s Last Theorem were proved from the 17th through the 19th centuries.

By this argument, the chance that Fermat’s Last Theorem is false is less than 1 in 26,000,000. This might be enough to convince someone, but it is not a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem! What if Fermat’s Last Theorem were true just for “probabilistic” reasons, and not for a “structural” reason that could lead to a proof?

Fermat’s Last Theorem Fermat’s Last Theorem states that the equation x n+yn= z , xyz6= 0 has no integer solutions when nis greater than or equal to 3. Around 1630, Pierre de Fermat claimed that he had found a “truly wonderful” proof of this theorem, but that the margin of his copy of Diophantus’ Arithmetica was too small to contain it:

Prehistory: The only case of Fermat’s Last Theorem for which Fermat actu-ally wrote down a proof is for the case n= 4. To do this, Fermat introduced the idea of infinite descent which is still one the main tools in the study of Diophantine equations, and was to play a central role in the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem 350 years later.
