PlanetMath: Fermat's last theorem (589 words) |
 | Fermat's last theorem was actually a conjecture and remained unproved for over 300 years. |
| We cannot imagine how Fermat's last theorem could be proved without these advanced mathematical tools, which include group theory and Galois theory, the theory of modular forms, Riemannian topology, and the theory of elliptic equations. |
| This is version 11 of Fermat's last theorem, born on 2002-01-26, modified 2006-10-28. |

| Theorem B is even harder still, and it is the theorem of which Andrew Wiles first claimed a proof in 1993, thus proving FLT as well. |
| Theorem B certainly seems, to one unfamiliar with the territory, to be quite technical and abstruse. |
| Theorem B and more general forms of the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture can be viewed in yet another way to affirm that there is a very significant relationship between modular functions and elliptic curves. |
