SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), which states that the equation a^n = ∫(b to c) n{x^(n-1)}dx has no positive integer solutions for n greater than 2. The theorem is famously associated with mathematician Andrew Wiles, who proved it in 1994. The reworded formula presented in the discussion is a creative interpretation of the original theorem, emphasizing its significance in number theory.

I am thinking of a famous formula related to number theory, but I have reworded it (this may not be original to me -- I don't know). Can you name the theorem:

If a, b, c and n are positive integers, then

a^{n}=\int_{b}^{c}n{x^{n-1}}dx

has no solutions for any n > 2. Maybe we can submit our answers in white font letters!

Enjoy,

Steve Rives

Do I have to tell you? It is sometimes written FL...FL something.
 
Andrew Wiles and Fermat...
 
FLT! :smile:
