Pierre de Fermat



"Fermat’s Last Theorem" states that the Pythagorean equation (a2 + b2 = c2) is true only for squares and that no positive integers can be found to satisfy the equation when the exponent is greater than two. Mathematicians had assumed this fact for many hundreds of years, but failed to prove it. Fermat did what many scholars before him could not, leading to countless future discoveries in Algebra and Calculus.
