Fermat's last theorem - Fermat's comment in the Arithmetica.
In problem II.8 of his Arithmetica, Diophantus asks how to split a given square number into two other squares (in modern notation, given a rational number k, find u and v, both rational, such that k2 = u2 + v2), and shows how to solve the problem for See also:Fermat's last theorem, Fermat's last theorem - History, Fermat's last theorem - Fermat's comment in the Arithmetica, Fermat's last theorem - Early history, Fermat's last theorem - The proof, Fermat's last theorem - Did Fermat really have a proof?, Fermat's last theorem - Trivia, Fermat's last theorem - Notes, Fermat's last theorem - Bibliography and further reading Read more here: » Fermat's last theorem: Encyclopedia II - Fermat's last theorem - History |

| | | | Fermat's last theorem - History: Encyclopedia II - Fermat's last theorem - Trivia In "The Royale", an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Picard states that the theorem had gone unsolved for 800 years. Wiles' proof was released five years after the particular episode aired. This was subsequently mentioned in a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Facets" during June 1995 in which Jadzia Dax comments that one of her previous hosts, Tobin Dax, had "the most original approach to the proof since Wiles over 300 years ago." [4] This reference was generally understood by ...

| | | | Fermat's last theorem - History: Encyclopedia II - Fermat's last theorem - Did Fermat really have a proof? There is considerable doubt over whether Fermat's claim to have "a truly marvellous proof" was correct. Wiles's proof is about 200 pages long and beyond the understanding of most mathematicians today. It is quite possible that there is a proof that is both essentially shorter, and more elementary in its methods; initial proofs of major results are typically not the most direct. Math institutions still receive many papers, some say in the thousands, claiming t ...
