I love a good theorem...

...especially Fermat's last one.


 This is known as Fermat's Last Theorem...



 ... and this is Fermat.




He alluded to it in the margin of a book he was reading...


... and this, essentially, is what he wrote...

...which all boils down to this...
 


And if you'd like to read a more detailed account of all this, then go here.


So why the post...?

Well, as inspiring as all this is, and I did study this a little when in
high school, I just love the way we can make light of almost
anything...













A guy called Wiles finally proved the theorem in 1995



As a tribute to them both, Fermat and Wiles, they were put onto a stamp...


And here's a little theorem of my own...
...well almost my own, but at least it's a lot easier to
prove tham Fermat's effort.


 
 
Cheers.
