Do you think that Fermat would have been able to successfully prove his Last Theorem if he had not died?

Question

parthkohli · Answer

I don't think he would've done it. It was a long proof, after all.

mathslover · Answer

Yes @ParthKohli He would have .. I think

parthkohli · Answer

How so?

mathslover · Answer

his aim .. he would have like to achieve that?

parthkohli · Answer

He actually said that the theorem existed just for nothing; he didn't know the proof.

mathslover · Answer

Sometime people get ideas at any instant? 
I mean may be he was not able to do that before but he would have been after

amistre64 · Answer

from what i remember of fermat .... yes

anonymous · Answer

I believe he thought he had a proof, but it was flawed and he didn't see it.

parthkohli · Answer

He was a bit of a genius, but he still didn't know the theorem well.

@satellite73 , just want to know if this theorem is really true............ I don't have much about this. so please....

parthkohli · Answer

You may ask me, lol. Satellite is not the only genius on this site.
Yes it's true.

amistre64 · Answer

I tend to think that the path that leads us here took a different route than the path Fermat was on; and that we simply have to explain it using this road, which is alot bumpier than his  :)

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

@ParthKohli 
I didn't meant that.......

$a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)$

Thus, $a^3 + b^3 = a+b$ if $a^2 + b^2 - ab = 0$ just a thought....... please tell me if I am wrong.

parthkohli · Answer

Remember that $a,b,c$ are supposed to be integers.

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

Oh sorry ............. misunderstoof.

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

* misunderstood.......

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

but $\large 0^n = 0^n + 0^n$ What now ....... ?

parthkohli · Answer

'no three positive integers'. 0 is not said to be positive, Vishesh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_Last_Theorem
