Simple Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
www.oakton.edu › user › 4A Simple Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The Theorem: x ª + y ª = z ª has no positive integer solutions (x, y, z, a) for a > 2. (Pierre De Fermat, 1601-1665) The Proof: I) At least one of the following two sentences is true. II) The preceding sentence is false. III) x ª + y ª = z ª has no positive integer solutions (x, y, z, a) for a > 2. Q.E.D.
FERMAT’S LAST THEOREM - A SIMPLE PROOF. Peter G.Bass.

Fermat’s equation is xn +yn = zn (2.1) and his Last Theorem states ”There are no integer solutions for x, y and z for n > 2.” It is well known, [1], that x and y cannot both be even numbers, and that they must be of different parity and relatively prime. Also, it is well known, [1], [2], that if the Last Theorem can be proved for n = 4, then it is
Simple Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
https://www.oakton.edu/user/4/pboisver/fermat.htmlA Simple Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem It is a shame that Andrew Wiles spent so many of the prime years of his life following such a difficult path to proving Fermat's Last Theorem, when there exists a much shorter and easier proof. Indeed, this concise, elegant alternative, reproduced below, is almost certainly the one that Fermat himself referred to in the margin of his copy* of …

Part (1) 3 Statement of the Theorem and Brief History Fermat’s Last Theorem (FLT) states: For all n greater than 2, there do not exist x, y, z such that xn + yn = zn, where x, y, z, n, are positive integers. Until the mid-1990s, this was the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics. It was
An Overview of the Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem
math.bu.edu › people › ghsThe 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. The first known case is due to Fermat himself, who proved FLT(4) around 1640.
