Four-part series about the history of mathematics, presented by Oxford professor Marcus du Sautoy. By the 17th century, Europe had taken over from the Middle East as the world's powerhouse of mathematical ideas. Great strides had been made in understanding the geometry of objects fixed in time and space. The race was now on to discover the mathematics to describe objects in motion. In this programme, Marcus du Sautoy explores the work of René Descartes and Pierre Fermat, whose famous Last Theorem would puzzle mathematicians for more than 350 years. He also examines Isaac Newton's development of the calculus, and goes in search of Leonard Euler, the father of topology or 'bendy geometry' and Carl Friedrich Gauss, who, at the age of 24, was responsible for inventing a new way of handling equations: modular arithmetic.

Simon Singh and John Lynch's film (BBC 1996) tells the enthralling and emotional story of Andrew Wiles. A quiet English mathematician, he was drawn into maths by Fermat's puzzle, but at Cambridge in the '70s, FLT was considered a joke, so he set it aside. Then, in 1986, an extraordinary idea linked this irritating problem with one of the most profound ideas of modern mathematics: the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture, named after a young Japanese mathematician who tragically committed suicide. The link meant that if Taniyama was true then so must be FLT. When he heard, Wiles went after his childhood dream again. "I knew that the course of my life was changing." For seven years, he worked in his attic study at Princeton, telling no one but his family. "My wife has only known me while I was working on Fermat", says Andrew. In June 1993 he reached his goal. At a three-day lecture at Cambridge, he outlined a proof of Taniyama - and with it Fermat's Last Theorem. Wiles' retiring life-style was shattered. Mathematics hit the front pages of the world's press. Then disaster struck. His colleague, Dr Nick Katz, made a tiny request for clarification. It turned into a gaping hole in the proof. As Andrew struggled to repair the damage, pressure mounted for him to release the manuscript - to give up his dream. So Andrew Wiles retired back to his attic. He shut out everything, but Fermat. A year later, at the point of defeat, he had a revelation. "It was the most important moment in my ...

The polynomial solution is very easy to explain and easy to understand. After its presentation, I have no doubt that it will be identified in the papers that Fermat left. The Original Proof - (460) Watch the video and read the description to know about the new Fermat's proof. THE FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM THE MARVELLOUS PROOF On August 17, 2010, we commemorated the 409th anniversary of Pierre de Fermat. After all these years, the world still does not know the wonderful demonstration of the conjecture, known as "The Fermat's Last Theorem". In 2011, celebrates his 410th anniversary, 149750 days of his birth. As was the personality of Pierre de Fermat, I make a proposal (to the WORLD): Until the day of his 410th anniversary, the views of this video has exceeded the number of days corresponding to 410 years after (149750 views), I will take public his MARVELOUS PROOF. The Polynomial Solution. The Solution without elliptic curves, without modular forms, without Tanyama-Shimura. Just Algebra. If it does not occur until the date on April 23, 2012, there will be another chance this date will count 150000 days of his birth. As in the previous proposition, the exhibits must overcome the days since his birth. (150 000). Hope you want to know the PROOF, otherwise, will also disappear with me. (again) DECLARATION This method has no result in the assertion that there is no solution to the equation X ^ n + Y ^ n = Z ^ n, where n is an integer greater than 2 and X, Y and Z natural, it shows ...

Program and source code at www.badnewswade.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk I made this fractal based on a misreading of Fermat's Last Theorem. The colour of the pixels is given by the equation X*n + Y*n, where X and Y are the co-ordinates of the pixel being plotted and n is a sort of constant. (The Fermat equation is X^n + Y^n - a bit different). I was inspired by a page in Stephen Wolfram's Mathematica graphics gallery. Wrote it in 8086 assembler in a couple of days, although I had a lot of library code as I've been trying to produce a decent fractal for yonks.

**** Nov. 3 2009 **** fermatslt.blogspot.com Go see the solution using Diophantine equations Once you do the math, you will see why Fermat had to work out the case for n = 4. He had to work out the nagging question, just to be sure. ********* September 26, 2009 - Go see Fermat's drawing of proof - I had a little bit bigger piece of paper See location a little further in description here.******** September 11, 2009 The proof has been verified see the posting below ********** September 5, 2009***** This is a suggestion for you if the proof is too hard ***** Ask a college math professor to take a look at the proof and explain it to you. Perhaps even your high school math teacher will be able to explain it to you. It has been a couple of months now, aparently no one seems to get the proof, or least they have not said.***********This one page proof is a relatively easy proof that only requies knowledge of square roots.This is something like Fermat's original proof.******Take a look at first minute of video to orient yourself to proof, then go to **** fermatslt.blogspot.com

writen filmed and edited by woodlandfriendz. LYRICS: Fermat was born in southwest france When he was young his math was not advanced He was schooled at the monastery at grands elve Then at Toulouse university he earned himself A judicial job that had good pay He began to study math each and every day Kept up with the latest mathematicians Did arithmetic like a straight up magician --CHORUS-- AND FERMAT helped developed calculus BUT THAT WAS NOT his work most immaculate Eventually he wrote that final fateful proof: *fast* X to the nth plus yt the nth never equals zt the nth for n greater than TWO! Pythagorean theorem he took and twisted up He found it in a book from Alexandria Ancient puzzle solved, just by him But his proof wouldn't fit in the books margin In 1963 andrew wiles was 10 He liked to study math more than most young men Lived in England, had skills like a beast "Yo, I heard he sucked at math!" NOT IN THE LEAST! He did all his math problems while at school Then at home -- he made and solved his own So later in that year 1963 He was hangin just chillin at the library He read the last problem by ET Bell And learned about that life consuming proof from hell He was intrigued by the simple looking situation He wanted to write a proof and shock the nation --CHORUS-- 6/23/93 baby you know what that date means maybe that was the day wiles revealed his proof to the public at the IN institute they all the felt the moment, it was coming near wiles put down the chalk ...
How to prove Fermat's Last Theorem in under 7 seconds
this is the proof of the little fermat we made at university. it is a very short proof but you have to know some conditions before. in this case p is primnumber and a one solution in F. F is the set of numbers which can be divided by p (its very hard to explain it in english *g*) note: this is just the little fermat, the proof of the big fermat (a^n+b^n=c^n) is much more difficult. it was proofed by andrew wiles (see my favorites) thx for watching =)
