Fermat's Last Theorem DocumentaryWednesday, April 5th, 2023

Storrs Campus Monteith 214
Fermat's Last Theorem says the equation \(x^n + y^n = z^n\) has no solution in positive integers when \(n \geq 3\).
This problem was posed by Fermat in the 1600s and a proof of it was announced by Andrew Wiles 30 years ago, on June 23, 1993. This news made the top of the front page of the New York Times, which is quite unusual for an article on mathematics.
In this meeting, we'll watch a documentary about this problem that features Wiles, his colleagues, and other mathematicians whose work played a role in the resolution of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Before the documentary there will be a brief presentation about the link between Fermat's Last Theorem and
elliptic curves, which was the topic of last week's math club meeting.
