MathLiveFermat's Last Theorem
States that the equation a^n+b^n=c^n has no solutions in positive integers when the exponent n is greater than 2, so only n up to 2 allow nontrivial solutions. It was proved by Andrew Wiles and is used as a classic result in number theory.
a^n+b^n=c^n \Rightarrow n\leq 2What the symbols mean
| positive integer | |
| positive integer | |
