pengkuan Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 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.

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. Please post a summary of your argument here. Take a moment to re-read the rules - especially the one which requires that posters do not ask members to go off site in order to participate in the discussion. 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: http://pengkuanonmaths.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-fermats-last-theorem.html Edited July 6, 2015 by pengkuan

Jagella Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 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? Jagella
