AI Thread Summary
Andrew Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem can be challenging to find in a straightforward format. Users suggest searching Google or Wikipedia for resources, although some have found these sources lacking. A specific link to a Stanford University page was shared, which may contain relevant information. The original poster expressed initial difficulty in locating a suitable PDF version of the proof. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the ongoing interest in accessing Wiles' proof despite the challenges in finding comprehensive resources.

I am interested in seeing the full Andrew Wiles proof, anybody know where I can download it as a pdf or something?

I will not pretend I will be able to understand it but would be very interested in having a look at it anyway.

cheers
Martin

thanks for that
 

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
