22 years? Talk about being slow to cough up the money.

Awesome! Congratulations. I remember hearing about that in school.

Is there any practical applications for this theorem?

(1)³ + (-1)³ = (0)³.

Ah, heck, he beat me to it.

I had my own proof almost completed. I was just trying to decide whether to start my last line with “Therefore...” or with “In conclusion...”.

I forgot that old saying: It doesn’t matter who discovers first. What matters is who publishes first.

I wonder how many “last theorems” begin with the phrase “Hold my beer and watch while I prove this.”

The theorem, created in 1637 by French mathematician Pierre de Fermant, says that there are no solutions in integers — or whole numbers — to the equation xn + yn = zn when n is greater than 2.

Did the article at the source express the equation like that? Or did it show it like the equation shown in the image? Reading the theorem as it was expressed in the excerpt my first thought was "how ridiculous; any solution where z=x+y would satisfy that equation."

It is clear that FORMAT is important in FERMAT's equation.

I figured out long ago that I was never going to prove or disprove that thermo.

They must still be having trouble with that “ time” thingy.

[Nifster]

Awesome. It has taken a bit to confirm but this is spectacular

I worked on that when I was younger. I guess I just needed to simplify my thought processes ;-)
