Click For Summary
An elementary proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) was proposed eight months ago, attracting attention from 70 mathematicians and approximately 1,000 online visitors, yet no feedback has been received. The proof simplifies the problem by manipulating the equation a^n + b^n - c^n = 0 through basic arithmetic operations and properties of prime numbers. Key discussions focus on the proof's clarity, with several participants expressing confusion over the notation and mathematical assertions presented. Counterexamples have been offered to challenge specific claims within the proof, highlighting potential errors in its logic. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clearer communication and justification of the proof's steps to facilitate understanding and validation.
