Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France, August, 1601, d. Castres, near Toulouse, France, January 12, 1665] Fermat was a lawyer whose thoughts on mathematics were transmitted mainly by correspondence with other mathematicians. He discovered analytic geometry a year before Descartes had the same idea. Fermat employed some of the main ideas of calculus before either Newton or Leibniz. His main fame today, however, comes from his work in number theory. Fermat's "last theorem," which is that for natural numbers x, y, and z there is no natural number n greater than 2 for which x n + y n = z n is true, is especially well known. Fermat claimed a proof of this theorem, but did not reveal it. It was finally proved in 1995. Dictionary Fer·mat fĕr-mä Pierre de

    Extractions: Executive summary: Fermat's Last Theorem French mathematician, born on the 17th of August 1601, at Beaumont-de-Lomagne near Montauban. While still young, he, along with Blaise Pascal , made some discoveries in regard to the properties of numbers, on which he afterwards built his method of calculating probabilities. He discovered a simpler method of quadrating parabolas than that of Archimedes , and a method of finding the greatest and the smallest ordinates of curved lines analogous to that of the then unknown differential calculus. His great work De Maximis et Minimis brought him into conflict with , but the dispute was chiefly due to a want of explicitness in the statement of Fermat. His brilliant researches in the theory of numbers entitle him to rank as the founder of the modern theory. They originally took the form of marginal notes in a copy of Bachet's Diophantus , and were published in 1670 by his son Samuel, who incorporated them in a new edition of this Greek writer. Other theorems were published in his

    Extractions: The French mathematician Pierre de Fermat(1601-1665) was possibly the most productive mathematician of his era, making many contributions, some of which were to calculus, number theory, and the law of refraction. We will survey those contributions here, paying particular attention to his work in number theory. While relatively little is known of Fermat's early education, it is known that he was of Basque origin and received his primary and secondary education at the monastery of Grandsl ve, run by the Cordeliers (Franciscans), in Beaumont-de-Lomagne. For his advanced studies he first attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620's. In Bordeaux (1629) Fermat began his first serious mathematical researches, where he gave a copy of his restoration of Appollonius's Plane Loci to one of the mathematicians there. In Bordeaux he contacted Beaugrand and during this time he produced work on maxima and minima. He gave his work to Etienne de'Espagnet, who shared mathematical interests with Fermat.

    Extractions: Pierre de Fermat (1601?-1665 A.D.) There is a seemingly reliable report that Fermat was born at Beaumont de Lomagne, near Toulouse on August 17, 1601. It is known that he died at Castres or Toulouse on January 12, 1665. His tombstone, originally in the church of the Augustines in Toulouse and later moved to the local museum, gives the above date of death and Fermat’s age at death as fifty-seven years. Due to this conflicting data, Fermat’s dates are usually listed as (1601?-1665). Indeed, for various reasons, Fermat’s birth year, as given by different writers, ranges from 1590 to 1608. Fermat was the son of a leather merchant and received his early education at home. At the age of thirty he obtained the post of councilor for the local parliament at Toulouse and there discharged his duties with modesty and punctiliousness. Working as a humble and retiring lawyer, he devoted the bulk of his leisure time to the study of mathematics. Although he published very little during his lifetime, he was in scientific correspondence with many leading mathematicians of his day and, in this way, considerably influenced his contemporaries. He enriched so many branches of mathematics with so many important contributions that he has been called the greatest French mathematician of the seventeenth century. Of Fermat’s varied contributions to mathematics, the most outstanding is the founding of the modern theory of numbers. In this field, Fermat possessed extraordinary intuition and ability. It was probably the Latin translation of Diophantus’ Arithmetica, made by Bachet de Meziriac in 1621, that first directed Fermat’s attention to number theory. Many of Fermat’s contributions to the field occur as marginal statements made in his copy of Bachet’s work. In 1670, five years after his death, these notes were incorporated in a new, but unfortunately carelessly printed, edition of the Arithmetica, brought out by his son Clement-Samuel. Many of the unproved theorems announced by Fermat have later been shown to be correct.
