Fermat's last theorem Number theory index History Topics Index Pierre de Fermat died in 1665. Today we think of Fermat as a number theorist, in fact as perhaps the most famous number theorist who ever lived. It is therefore surprising to find that Fermat was in fact a lawyer and only an amateur mathematician. Also surprising is the fact that he published only one mathematical paper in his life, ...

Beal's Conjecture: A Search for Counterexamples Beal's Conjecture is this: There are no positive integers x, m, y, n, z, r satisfying the equation xm + yn = zr where m, n, r 2 and x, y, z are co-prime (that is, gcd(x, y) = gcd(y, z) = gcd(x, z) = 1). There is a $75, 000 prize for the first proof or disproof of the conjecture. The conjecture is obviously related to Fermat's Last Theorem, which was proved ...
