On Fermat’s last theorem


This theorem states that for any n except 2, the equation X^n+Y^n=Z^n is not true for any positive integer triplet X, Y and Z. Fermat’s “I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.” has fascinated mathematicians from 1637 but no one has found what his proof was. Let us try to understand this theorem better.

Sorry.

 

I'm trying to integrate a pdf but I cannot find how. I had posted photos years before, but I do not remember how either.

This is a proof for Fermat's Last theorem:

By transforming the equation x^n+y^n=z^n, I arrived to the conclusion that z must be irrational. Taylor's series and continued fraction are used to prove this. The complete proof is here:

Please post a summary - there are probably fewer members who will open a file off the internet than will go to another site to read your paper; the argument needs to be founded in information presented here. thanks

Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem in 1995. I understand his proof is 200 pages long. He used modern math which was not available in Fermat's day. So in a sense the mystery is yet to be solved. Can Fermat's Last Theorem be solved using the math available in Fermat's day?
