The relevance of this theorem in the history of mathematics is truly remarkable. A comment was first written by Pierre de Fermat in the margin of the original version of his copy of the Arithmetica of Diophantus. He literally said that the margin was too narrow to show his proof. Still, Fermat's original proof, if existing, has remained a mystery over the years. Using advanced mathematics, a truly remarkabl ... Full description

Description
The relevance of this theorem in the history of mathematics is truly remarkable. A comment was first written by Pierre de Fermat in the margin of the original version of his copy of the Arithmetica of Diophantus. He literally said that the margin was too narrow to show his proof. Still, Fermat's original proof, if existing, has remained a mystery over the years. Using advanced mathematics, a truly remarkable proof of the theorem could be put forward only recently by A. Wiles. Still, the conjecture behind FLT was inspired while studying a new edition of the Arithmetica, precisely when Fermat was reading about how to write a square number as a sum of two squares, that is, how to find Pythagorean triples that are solutions of the quadratic Diophantine equations. For this reason, it looks plausible at least in principle that the theorem can also be studied from a different perspective, closer to what Fermat had probably in mind originally, either correct or wrong.
