Fermat's last theorem a conjecture by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat (1601–65), that if
n is an integer greater than 2, the equation
xn +
yn =
zn has no positive integral solutions. Fermat apparently noted in the margin of his copy of
Diophantus' Arithmetica ‘I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain’, but his proof has never been found, and Fermat's last theorem may be cited as an example of an unsolved problem. In 1995 a general proof was published by the Princeton-based British mathematician Andrew Wiles.
