What is the unsolved problem of fermat?
Fermat's Last Theorem, which took 358 years to prove, was that "no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two." The theorem was finally proven in 1995 by Andrew Wiles, who is a British mathemetician.
The hardest math problem ever?
Fermat's Last Theorem has been known to be one of the most difficult mathematical problems in the Guinness Book of World Records. It stated that no three positive integers (a, b, and c) can satisfy the equation an +bn = cn for any integer of n greater than two. Eventually, in 1994, a successful proof was submitted by Andrew Wiles after 358 years of effort by mathematicians.
What was Fermat's original proof of his last theorem?
Fermat's last theorem says there does not exist three positive integers a, b, and c which can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. (2 with be pythagoran triples so we don't include that) Fermat proved the case for n=4, but did not leave a general proof. The proof of this theorem came in 1995. Taylor and Wiles proved it but the math they used was not even known when Fermat was alive so he could not have done a similar proof.
Who discovered Techans Triangle?
The Techans Triangle was discovered by the mathematician, Pierre de Fermat in 1637. He first proposed the famous equation x^n + y^n = z^n and it became known as Fermat's Last Theorem. This equation was later proved to be true in 1995 by Andrew Wiles after more than 350 years of effort by mathematicians around the world.
Who was the most popular mathematician?
This is impossible to give as a fact as everybody will have a different opinion. the top ten is 1. Leonhard Euler 2. Carl Friedrich Gauss 3. G. F. Bernhard Riemann 4. Euclid 5. René Descartes 6. Alan Turing 7. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo (a.k.a. Leonardo Fibonacci) 8. Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Leibniz 9. Andrew Wiles 10. Pythagoras
