Diophantine Equations: Fermat

The video discusses Pierre de Fermat, a mathematician known for his work in abstract mathematics. Fermat famously claimed to have a proof for a theorem that could not fit in the margin of a book. This theorem, known as Fermat's Last Theorem, states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n for any integer value of n greater than 2. Despite being a simple equation, it remained unproven for over 350 years. In 1995, Andrew Wiles successfully proved the theorem, marking a significant achievement in mathematics.
