PREAMBLE AND ABSTRACT After 350 years of unsuccessful attempts, a mathematically highly advanced proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) by A. Wiles was accepted and published in Annals of mathematics , May 1995. However, it cannot be Fermat's own elementary demonstration. In the opinion of the present author the following proof is the one Fermat had in mind. FLT holds that the equation z w = x w + y w can have a positive integer solution if and only if w = 2. As is well known, a proof for w being any prime suffices. Therefore w is considered a prime number throughout. Suppose z is a composite positive integer. If for only one of its prime number factors, say p

Beal's conjecture A prize is offered for proof or disproof of Beal's conjecture , stated as follows: If x,y,z,m,a,b positive integers then x,y,z have a common factor Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem A proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) is available using the binomial expansion . In this proof it is shown that z cannot be an integer in the equality x,y,z,m positive integers thus proving FLT x,y,z,m positive integers Disproof of Beal's Conjecture When a=b=m , Beal's equation (1) becomes Fermat's equation (2). Clearly, Fermat's equation (2) is a special case of Beal's equation (1). The same procedure used in Fermat's equation (2) can be used to show that z cannot be an integer in Beal's equation (1). Start by rearranging Beal's equation (1) x,y,z,m positive integers and then expressing the parenthesis term as a binomial series, with results 1. Since m 1/m is not an integer and the series cannot terminate becoming the binomial theorem.

Extractions: Fermat was a 17th-century mathematician who wrote a note in the margin of his book stating a particular proposition and claiming to have proved it. His proposition was about an equation which is closely related to Pythagoras' equation . Pythagoras' equation gives you: x y z You can ask, what are the whole number solutions to this equation, and you can see that: and 5 And if you go on looking then you find more and more such solutions. Fermat then considered the cubed version of this equation: x y z He raised the question: can you find solutions to the cubed equation? He claimed that there were none . In fact, he claimed that for the general family of equations: "x n y n z n where n is bigger than 2,

It describes, in language intended for the "intelligent layman", the history, the importance and the proof of Fermat's Theorem.) Last year saw possibly the most remarkable developments in mathematics this century - and Clare College was at the centre of it. For over 350 years mathematicians all over the world have tried without success to prove what has become known as ``Fermat's Last Theorem''. But recently a proof was announced by Andrew Wiles, using the help of Richard Taylor. A.J. Wiles (1974) was a graduate student, and then Research Fellow, in the late 1970s and is now a Professor at Princeton University; R.L. Taylor (1980), who was Wiles' research student, is currently a Fellow of Clare and Reader in Pure Mathematics.

Extractions: X^n + Y^n = Z^n in which n a power greater than 2. However, Diophantus' problem that Fermat wrote his theorem next to does not use integer solutions. In addition, Fermat's Latin text does not use the word whole numbers or integers to describe the solutions. It seem clear that Diophantus and Fermat have both tried to state that the solutions are not integers.

Diophantus' problem, that Fermat wrote the text of his theorem, uses fraction solutions and Fermat's Latin text does not use the word whole numbers or integers to describe the solutions.

Extractions: The deflection angle is the gradient of an effective lensing potential (as was first shown by [ ]; see also [ ]). Hence the lens equation can be rewritten as or The term in brackets appears as well in the physical time delay function for gravitationally lensed images: This time delay surface is a function of the image geometry ( ), the gravitational potential , and the distances , and . The first part - the geometrical time delay - reflects the extra path length compared to the direct line between observer and source. The second part - the gravitational time delay - is the retardation due to gravitational potential of the lensing mass (known and confirmed as Shapiro delay in the solar system). From Equations ( ), it follows that the gravitationally lensed images appear at locations that correspond to extrema in the light travel time, which reflects Fermat's principle in gravitational-lensing optics. The (angular-diameter) distances that appear in Equation ( ) depend on the value of the Hubble constant [ ]; therefore, it is possible to determine the latter by measuring the time delay between different images and using a good model for the effective gravitational potential

Extractions: PDF format WSWS By Peter Symonds The following article was first published on July 23, 1993 in Workers News, the newspaper of the Socialist Labour League, the forerunner to the Socialist Equality Party (Australia). On June 23, 1993, an event took place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University in Britain of considerable historic significance for the field of mathematics. In what could prove to be a major breakthrough, Andrew Wiles, a 40-year-old number theorist from Princeton University, concluded a series of three lectures on "Modular forms, elliptic curves, and Galois representations" by proving one of the longest standing problems in mathematicsFermat's last theorem, first stated around 1637. According to press reports, the proof, which is yet to be published, is up to 1,000 pages in length and uses intricate arguments from highly abstract areas of pure mathematics. Wiles' claims are yet to be checked in detail and it is possible that a flaw will be found. [Note: A major gap was found in the proof and was only resolved in October 1994. After extensive checking, the manuscripts were finally published in the May 1995 volume of the journal

Cambridge, England, April 11, 1953] When he was ten years old, Wiles became interested in the solution to the problem known as Fermat's Last Theorem. Although he worked on other parts of mathematics while obtaining his doctorate at Cambridge University in 1980, he remained interested in the Fermat theorem. He began teaching mathematics at Princeton University in New Jersey in 1982. In 1986 he learned of new results that might lead to a proof of the Fermat theorem and began a secret project to use this approach to make a proof. It took seven years of intense concentration to produce a proof, but other mathematicians pointed out flaws in the 1993 publication. In collaboration with Richard L. Taylor, Wiles resolved all the difficulties and published the final proof in 1995. Wikipedia Andrew Wiles Andrew John Wiles (born April 11 ) is a British mathematician living in the United States .

Fermat's Last Theorem

http://physics.nad.ru/engboard/messages/562.html

Extractions: I will prove that Fermat's theorem was an attempt at forming a general proof of Pythagorean's equation. l. Introduction 2. Proof The general proof of Pythagorean's equation is formed using Z^n = X^n + Y^n where n is a integer number; the lengths X, Y and Z form a right triangle only when n = 2. Rearranging Fermat's equation, Z = (X^n + Y^n)^(1/n), the lengths of X and Y form the length of Z that decreases in size when the integer value of n increases; example, n = 2, X = l m, and Y = l m, therefore, Z = (2)^(1/2) = 1.414 m; n = 50, Z = 1.01395948 m; n = 100, Z = 1.0069555 m. The largest length of Z is formed when n = 2. The value of n greater than two can never form the hypotenuse of a right triangle; consequently, n = 2 is the only solution to Fermat's equation that describes Pythagorean's right triangle. 3. Conclusion Fermat's theorem was an attempt at forming a general proof of Pythagorean's equation. Fermat stated that he could solve the problem in about a paragraph which I have done in the last paragraph of my proof. Fermat's theorem has a problem, when n = 2, the solutions are a continuous range of values; however, when n> 2 a discrete range of of solutions are described. Therefore, the whole number condition cannot be part of Fermat's theorem. Consequently, by eliminating the whole number solution condition, the general proof of Pythagorean's equation is formed using Fermat's equation.
