Lecture Notes - Fermat's Last Theorem

1. Historical Background and Development

Origins

Fermat's Last Theorem introduced in 1637 when Pierre de Fermat noted a note in the

border of Diophantus's Arithmetica. He demanded that the equating xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ has no

non-nothing number resolutions for n > 2. In welcome legendary borderline note,

Fermat penned: "I have found a doubtlessly extraordinary authentication that this

border is also limited to hold."
