Fermat's Last Theorem

== English == === Alternative forms === Fermat's last theorem === Etymology === Named after French lawyer and amateur mathematician Pierre de Fermat (1601–1665), who famously claimed to have a proof, although it was not successfully proven until 1994 by Andrew Wiles. === Proper noun === Fermat's Last Theorem (number theory) The theorem that the Diophantine equation a n + b n = c n {\displaystyle a^{n}+b^{n}=c^{n}} has no solutions for positive integers a , b , c , n {\displaystyle a,b,c,n} , where n > 2 {\displaystyle n>2} . 2002, Brendan Kelly, Algebra with the TI-83 Plus & TI-83 Plus SE, Brendan Kelly Publishing, page 36, It appeared that Dr. Wiles had proved Fermat's Last Theorem, the most famous conjecture in Number Theory which had eluded the greatest mathematicians for over 350 years! ==== Related terms ==== Fermat's little theorem ==== Translations ====
