Fermat's Last Theorem | Article proofs
Fermat's Last Theorem is a theorem in number theory, originally stated by Pierre de Fermat in 1637 and proved by Andrew Wiles in 1995. The statement of the theorem involves an integer exponent n larger than 2. In the centuries following the initial statement of the result and before its general proof, various proofs were devised for particular values of the exponent n. Several of these proofs are described below, including Fermat's proof in the case n = 4, which is an early example of the method of infinite descent. (Wikipedia).
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

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

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

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

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
