Theory of numbers: Fermat's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Fermat's theorem a^p = a mod p. We then define the order of a number mod p and use Fermat's theorem to show the order of a divides p-1. We apply this to testing some Fermat and Mersenne numbers to se

Fermat's little theorem

In this video we introduce Fermat's little theorem and give a proof using congruences. The content of this video corresponds to Section 7.2 of my book "Number Theory and Geometry" which you can find here: https://alozano.clas.uconn.edu/number-theory-and-geometry/

Fermat's Last Theorem for rational and irrational exponents

Fermat's Last Theorem states the equation x^n + y^n = z^n has no integer solutions for positive integer exponents greater than 2. However, Fermat's Last Theorem says nothing about exponents that are not positive integers. Note: x, y and z are meant to be positive integers, which I should

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim

Number Theory | A very special case of Fermat's Last Theorem

We prove a very simple case of Fermat's Last Theorem. Interestingly, this case is fairly easy to prove which highlights the allure of the theorem as a whole -- especially given the fact that much of modern number theory was developed as part of the program that ended in the full proof. ht

A special case of Fermat's Last Theorem, where n=3

In this video I go through a proof of the fact that the equation x^3+y^3=z^3 has no solutions for natural numbers x,y,z. Any equation of this form is commonly referred to as a "special case of Fermat's Last Theorem". What is Fermat's Last Theorem??: https://youtu.be/qiNcEguuFSA Euler's

Undergraduate math talk: Fermat's last theorem for exponent n=4

This is a math talk for undergraduates about Fermat's last theorem for exponent 4. We will see how Fermat proved this case using his "method of descent".

Fermat’s HUGE little theorem, pseudoprimes and Futurama

A LOT of people have heard about Andrew Wiles solving Fermat's last theorem after people trying in vain for over 350 years. Today's video is about Fermat's LITTLE theorem which is at least as pretty as its much more famous bigger brother, which has a super pretty accessible proof and which

Why was this visual proof missed for 400 years? (Fermat's two square theorem)

Today's video is about a new really wonderfully simple and visual proof of Fermat's famous two square theorem: An odd prime can be written as the sum of two integer squares iff it is of the form 4k+1. This proof is a visual incarnation of Zagier's (in)famous one-sentence proof. 0:00 Intr

The number theory revival | Math History | NJ Wildberger

After the work of Diophantus, there was something of a lapse in interest in pure number theory for quite some while. Around 1300 Gersonides developed the connection between the Binomial theorem and combinatorics, and then in the 17th century the topic was again taken up, notably by Fermat
