Proof of Fermat Last Theorem based on Odd Even Classification of Integers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the middle of 17th century, Pierre de Fermat mentioned that no value of n > 2 could satisfy the equation x n + y n = z n , where n, x, y and z are all positive integers. The statement is popularly known as Fermat’s last theorem. An acceptable mathematical proof of this theorem is being explored still today. When searched online treasures of resources, one may find various proofs of this theorem. In this paper I am not discussing any historical attempts that failed or partially succeeded. I am going to discuss the approach which I have adopted to proof this theorem. The approach is based on odd-even classification of positive integers. Assumption that the equation x n + y n = z n , where n, x, y and z are all positive integers, has a solution for n > 2 leads to some contradiction.

Kummer’s Special Case of Fermat’s Last Theorem∗
One particularly elegant example of an application of modern algebraic number theory to a classical problem about the integers is found in Kummer’s special case of Fermat’s Last Theorem. In this paper, we reduce Fermat’s Last Theorem to the question of whether or not there exist integer solutions to xp + yp = zp for p an odd prime. We then give a thorough exposition of Kummer’s proof that no su...

متن کاملFermat's Last Theorem and T H E Second Factor in T H E Cyclotomic Class Number
where / is an odd prime and x, y, z are rational integers prime to each other and none zero, we shall refer to the case where xyz is prime to / as case I ; if xyz = 0 (mod I) then we call this case II . I now give a sketch of a proof of a theorem which appears to be the principal result I have so far found concerning the first case of the last theorem. THEOREM 1. If (1) is possible in case I, t...
متن کاملFermat’s Last Theorem for Regular Primes
Fermat famously claimed in the margin of a book that a certain family of Diophantine equations have no solutions in integers. For over 300 years Fermat’s claim remained unsolved, and it provided motivation for many important developments in algebraic number theory. We will develop some of the foundational ideas of modern algebraic number theory in the context of Fermat’s Last Theorem, and sketc...

We present the proof of Diophantus' 20th problem (book VI of Diophantus' Arithmetica), which consists in wondering if there exist right triangles whose sides may be measured as integers and whose surface may be a square. This problem was negatively solved by Fermat in the 17th century, who used the"wonderful"method (ipse dixit Fermat) of infinite descent. This method, which is, historically, th...
