Fermat's last theorem says xn + yn = zn where n is bigger than 2 has no solution
.
The theorem has NOT been disproved, in fact it was proved by Andrew Wiles.
He worked with Richard Taylor and they used things known as elliptic curves. There are many great books that explain the proof, but a good amount of graduate level abstract algebra is required.

What Great Mathematicians are still alive?
Andrew Wiley, who solved Fermat's Last Theorem. Andrew Wiley, who solved Fermat's Last Theorem.
What is the answer for Fermat's Last Theorem?
Fermat's Last Theorem states that an + bn = cn does not have non-zero integer solutions for n > 2. Various mathematicians have worked on Fermat's Last Theorem, proving it true for certain cases of n. In 1994, Andrew Wiles revised and corrected his 1993 proof of the theorem for all cases of n. The proof is very complex.
Who solved fermat's last theorem?
Sir Andrew Wiles
Who was Pierre de Fermat?
He was a mathematician who contributed to the fields of calculus and algebra. His theorem an + bn = cn called, "Fermat's Last Theorem" was a challenge for the mathematical world to prove for a long time.
A3 plus b3 equals c3 has any solution?
This is part of Fermat's last theorem. He proposed that there was no solution to that equation (with whole numbers, at least) and wrote that he had a proof that he couldn't fit on the page he was using. He died without writing it down and mathematicians have been going nuts trying to rediscover it ever since. It has since been proven
