Dear Sir,
I am an amateur mathematician. First time I read about Fermat's last
theorem when I was 15 years old. Just like other people from the beginning I
dreamt to prove one day it. Last year I found out that A.Wiles and R.Taylor
proved it. I read this proof and I found it (just like other people) too
complex. I analysed the Fermat's last theorem and I succeed to simplify it as follows: Let have Fermat's equation: a n +b n =c n , where n>2 (1) Because c=p1*...*pt, where pi - prime number, equation (1) becomes: a n +b n n *...*pt

Marilyn Explains Fermat's Last Theorem
Marilyn is Wrong Herb Weiner by Marilyn vos Savant is a column in Parade Magazine , published by PARADE, 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017, USA. According to Parade, Marilyn vos Savant is listed in the "Guinness Book of World Records Hall of Fame" for "Highest IQ." In her Parade Magazine column of November 21, 1993, Marilyn reports that she does not believe that Andrew Wiles has succeeded in proving Fermat's Last Theorem, because the proof relies on non-Euclidean (hyperbolic) geometry. Note that in the discussion that follows, the notation x**n is used to represent x to the nth power.
I disagree!
Just because a tool is inappropriate for one task does not mean that tool is inappropriate for all other tasks. If we reject Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, must we also reject Einstein's General Theory of Relativity? When we are asked to solve a problem using "only a ruler and a straightedge," I think it's inappropriate to rely on non-Euclidean geometry. While Wiles' proof is clearly not the same as Fermat's "remarkable" proof, I don't understand why it's invalid simply because it relies on non-Euclidean geometry. As a non-mathemetician, this is the strongest argument I can make. I'll surely be hearing from my creative readers.

Fermat's Last Theorem
Fermat's last theorem was put forth by Pierre de Fermat around 1630. It states that the Diophantine equation $$ a^n + b^n = c^n $$ has no non-zero solutions for
History
Fermat's last theorem was actually a conjecture and remained unproved for over 300 years. It was finally proven in 1994 by Andrew Wiles , an English mathematician working at Princeton. It was always called a ``theorem'', due to Fermat's uncanny ability to propose true conjectures. Originally the statement was discovered by Fermat's son Clement-Samuel among margin notes that Fermat had made in his copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica . Fermat followed the statement of the conjecture with the infamous teaser: ``I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain'' Over the years, Fermat's last theorem was proven for various sub-cases which required specific values of

Sophie Germain and Fermat's Last Theorem
Larry Riddle
Department of Mathematics
Agnes Scott College
(Last revised: July 21, 2009) In the late 1630s, Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) wrote a marginal note in his copy of Claude Bachet's Latin translation of Diophantus's Arithmetica that was to intrigue mathematicians for the next 300 years. "It is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a biquadrate into two biquadrates, or in general any power higher than the second into two powers of like degree; I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain." In modern symbolic notation, which Fermat did not have available to him, this claim is known as Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT):
x n + y n = z n
This challenge problem has received attention of many mathematicians of the highest ability, including Euler, Legendre, Gauss, Abel, Sophie Germain , Dirichlet, Kummer and Cauchy. Quite a list of distinguished mathematicians! It is interesting that Dickson gave the first name of only one person on this list. Perhaps it was because of all the names given, he felt that Sophie Germain would be the least recognized by most readers. But indeed, Sophie Germain was one of the first to provide a grand plan for proving Fermat's Last Theorem, and to give a partial solution for a large class of exponents.

Fermat's last theorem says that this equation can't be satisfied for n greater than 2 Chandrashekhar Khare , a mathematician from the University of Utah, has announced that he has proved what is known to experts as the "level-one Serre conjecture". This conjecture was posed in 1972 by the Fields medallist Jean-Pierre Serre , and belongs to the field of Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry. At this point we should of course say what the conjecture states, and explain its importance in the real world. This, however, is easier said than done, as those of us who are not experts would have to spend several months studying seriously advanced mathematics, just in order to understand the statement. Luckily though, the conjecture belongs in a wider context - which we can attempt to explain - and has a famous relative: Fermat's last theorem. Serre's conjecture is in a sense a parent of Fermat's last theorem: mathematicians have known for some time that if the first is true then so is the second. In fact, it is a certain part of the conjecture which implies Fermat's last theorem, and this part was proved by Khare and his collaborator J.P. Wintenberger, and independently by the mathematician Dieulefait.

A happy star must also rule, and my situation and so manifold distracting affairs of course do not permit me to pursue such meditations as in the happy years 1796-1798 when I created the pricipal topics of my Disquisitiones arithmeticae . But I am convinced that if good fortune should do more than I expect, and make me successful in some advances in that theory, even the Fermat theorem will appear in it only as one of the least interesting corollaries.

Contably infinite counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem 2005 Jul 02
Fermat's Last Theorem
"To L. C. Young?s enrichment methodology is added this twin orientation: (a) the existence of long-standing unsolved scientific problem reveals the inadequacy of the underlying fields and (b) such problem is an opportunity and a catalyst for advancing those fields. This novel way of looking at a scientific problem has forged, in the course of its implementation, a new scientific methodology, the dynamic methodology, that has to its credit the resolution of Fermat's last theorem (FLT), the solution of the gravitational n-body problem, the development of the flux theory of gravitation and its adaptation to Earth, the theory of turbulence and the construction of the new reals. It is a superior alternative to the present descriptive pragmatic methodology of physics. Its main application here is the extension and clarification of including the construction of the countably infinite counter-examples to Fermat's last theorem."

Instructional Conference on Fermat's Last Theorem
August 6-18, 2000
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Organizing Committee:
Nigel Boston UIUC
Chris Skinner, IAS and Michigan
From August 6-18, 2000, the Instructional Conference on Fermat's Last Theorem will be held as one of the featured events in a Special Year in Number Theory at the University of Illinois. It is intended to provide advanced graduate students with a detailed overview of the recent proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Workshop participants will arrive Sunday, August 6 and leave at about lunchtime Friday, August 18. The meeting will consist of morning lectures by each of the organizers, followed by breaking into 4 groups of 6 students each to work on projects. These projects will fill some of the holes left in the lectures. Towards the end of the two weeks, students will present talks on their group work. There will be some social events (a reception at the start, an outing in the middle, and banquet at the end).
Sponsors
The conference is hosted by the Mathematics Department at the University of Illinois and is supported by the Number Theory Foundation and the National Science Foundation.

or Most compilers will emit something like this: foo: L2: jmp L2 Perhaps interestingly, LLVM/Clang recognizes that this slightly obfuscated infinite loop never exits: n + b n = c n is not much less than 2 It turns out that when optimizations are enabled, several compilers (LLVM/Clang 2.7, Open64-x86 4.2.3, Sun CC 5.10, and Intel CC 11.1.072) go ahead and permit this loop to terminate.  Specifically, when the loop is enclosed in a function, the compilers emit x86 assembly which looks something like this: fermat:   ret the Wind River Diab C compiler, and several versions of GCC all did the right thing, changing the termination properties of none of the examples I tried. Update from Sat 5/1: It turns out the LLVM folks have been working on this problem lately and their latest SVN now does not contain this bug.  Very nice! Update from Sat 5/1: Someone on Reddit noticed (and one of my students confirmed) that the Microsoft compilers do have termination bugs.  The compilers in both Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 generate code for the Fermat function, but then calls to this function are dropped because it is believed to be free of side effects (this was exactly what LLVM did before they fixed the problem).
