Non-trivial Pursuit: The History of Fermat's Last Theorem
A few episodes back, our hosts talked about the great unsolved mathematical problems of our time, and Pete teased an interesting story about one such problem that was finally solved not too long ago. In this first of a two-part episode, we dive into the fascinating story of Fermat's Last Theorem... from its inception, to Fermat's bold claim that he had a proof that he couldn't share, to the mathematical greats of yesteryear who took up the challenge to prove it. Join us for a look into this intriguing conjecture, and its amazing history.
Questions Answered in the Episode: • What does Fermat's Last Theorem state and how does it relate to the Pythagorean Theorem? • Why is it called Fermat's Last Theorem?
