Fermat’s Last Theorem asserts that there are no three positive integers a, b, and c that satisfy the equation aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ for any integer value of n greater than 2. Originally noted in the margin of a book by Pierre de Fermat, this statement eluded proof for centuries, symbolizing the mysterious and enduring nature of mathematical truth. Its eventual proof by Andrew Wiles in 1994 not only solved a longstanding puzzle but also highlighted the philosophical themes of persistence, the interplay of intuition and rigorous logic, and the pursuit of beauty in mathematical ideas.
