What is Fermat’s Last Theorem?

Mathematics
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

That is a VERY famous math problem first published in 1637 by Pierre Fermat.  He said that in an equation of the type

x^n + y^n = z^n

you will ONLY find solutions when "n" is no greater than 2.  He said he had a proof but the margin in his note book was too small to fit it in.

(It is now believed he never had any such proof.)

Anyway, we can find an infinite number of solutions when n = 2

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^5

5^5 + 12^2 = 13^2

but you cannot find any solutions when n = 3 or higher.

Finally in 1995, (358 YEARS after Fermat first published this theorem), the British mathematician Andrew Wiles published his own proof of this theorem.
