Extractions: French lawyer who pursued mathematics in his spare time. Although he pursued mathematics as an amateur, his work in number theory was of such exceptional quality and erudition that he is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. He had the habit of scribbling notes in the margins of books or in letters to friends rather than publishing them. He discovered analytic geometry independently of Descartes , but did not publish his work. He founded the theory of probability with Pascal and discovered the least time principle which states that light will travel through an optical system in such a way as to pass from starting to ending point in the least amount of time (a concept from calculus of variations ). Fermat solved many fundamental calculus problems, and made important contributions to number theory and optics. He was also fluent in French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and Greek. He is most famous for scribbling a note in the margin of a book by Diophantus that he had discovered a proof that the equation x n y n z n has no integer solutions for n >2. He stated "I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which however the margin is not large enough to contain." The proposition, which came to be known as

In particular, he is the precursor of differential calculus with his method of finding the greatest and the smallest ordinates of curved lines, analogous to that of the then unknown differential calculus . Perhaps even more important, his brilliant researches in the theory of numbers entitle him to rank as the founder of the modern theory. He also made notable contributions to analytic geometry and probability Fermat worked on number theory while preparing an edition of Diophantus , and the notes and comments thereon contained the numerous theorems of considerable elegance necessary to develop the theory of numbers. Fermat is famous for his "Enigma" that was an extension of Pythagorean Theorem, also known as Fermat's last theorem , which baffled mathematicians for more than 300 years, and was only finally proven in .

Extractions: Pierre Fermat's father was a wealthy leather merchant and second consul of Beaumont- de- Lomagne. He was probably educated in his early years at the local Franciscan monastery. He attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeau in the second half of the 1620s. In Bordeau he began his first serious mathematical researches and in 1629 he had completed his restoration of Apollonius's "Plane Loci." In Bordeau he was in contact with Beaugrand and produced important work on maxima and minima. From Bordeau Fermat went to Orléans where he studied law at the University. He received a degree in civil law and he purchased the offices of councillor at the parliament in Toulouse. Fermat's meteoric rise through the government is evidenced by his multiple appointments between 1631 and 1653. News of his death due to the plague of the 1650s was exaggerated: I informed you earlier of the death of Fermat. He is alive, and we no longer fear for his health, even though we had counted him among the dead a short time ago. The following report, made to Colbert the leading figure in France at the time, has a ring of truth:-

Extractions: Reference Desk Encyclopedia Fermat, Pierre de [pyer d u Pronunciation Key Fermat, Pierre de , French mathematician. A magistrate whose avocation was mathematics, Fermat is known as a founder of modern number theory and probability theory. He also did much to establish coordinate geometry (see Cartesian coordinates ) and invented a number of methods for determining maxima and minima that were later of use to Newton in applying the calculus. He noted without proof, although he claimed to have discovered one, the assertion now known as Fermat's Last Theorem, . which states that the equation x n y n z n , where x, y, z, and n are nonzero integers, has no solutions for n that are greater than 2. Prizes were offered for a proof of this theorem, and attempted proofs resulted in many developments in the theory of numbers. British mathematician Andrew Wiles described a proof of the conjecture in 1993, but a gap in the proof required additional work, which was completed in 1994. However, Wiles's proof involved mathematical concepts that were unknown in Fermat's lifetime, so whether Fermat had a valid proof remains conjecture. In optics Fermat recognized that of all possible paths, light takes the path that takes the least time; this fundamental rule is known as Fermat's principle. See M. S. Mahoney

Along with formulating this propositionxn+yn=zn has no rational solution for n > 2Fermat, an inventor of analytic geometry, also laid the foundations of differential and integral calculus, established, together with Pascal, the conceptual guidelines of the theory of probability, and created modern number theory. In one of the first full-length investigations of Fermat's life and work, Michael Sean Mahoney provides rare insight into the mathematical genius of a hobbyist who never sought to publish his work, yet who ranked with his contemporaries Pascal and Descartes in shaping the course of modern mathematics. Reviews: "Mahoney's sensitive handling of the material, his sharp appreciation of conceptual and notational subtleties, and his willingness to detail or reconstruct proofs and procedures, now make possible an appreciation of the real power and variety of Fermat's invention."Alan Gabbey

Extractions: Pierre de Fermat was a lawyer by occupation, but possessed one of the greatest mathematical minds of the seventeenth century. He made major contributions to geometric optics, modern number theory, probability theory, analytic geometry, and is generally considered the father of differential calculus . Though there is some doubt as to the date of his birth, Fermat was baptized on August 20, 1601 in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France. His father was a successful merchant and his mother hailed from a well-to-do family. Fermat most likely received his primary education from a local Franciscan monastery and later studied at the University of Toulouse. Fermat moved to Bordeaux, France for a few years in the 1620s, where he undertook an informal study of mathematics, but ultimately settled on law as a profession, receiving his Bachelors degree in Civil Law from the University of Orleans. In 1631, Fermat formally entered the legal profession, serving in the local Parliament at Toulouse. That same year he married his fourth cousin, Louise de Long, with whom he would later have five children. Over time, Fermat gradually attained legal positions with increasing responsibility and prestige, becoming a member of the criminal court in 1638 and a King's councilor in 1648, a post he retained for the rest of his life. In addition to his professional duties, Fermat carried on an extensive correspondence with a number of prominent Parisian mathematicians, sometimes proposing analytical problems to them that he had already solved. Some of his earliest work examined the experiments of Galileo and the paths of freefalling objects. During his efforts to disprove several of the postulates made by Galileo, Fermat developed a new method of quadrature for curves. Then, when attempting to explain his techniques to his correspondents, he laid down the fundamental ideas of differential calculus in a paper entitled the "
