Modularity... Simon Pampena gets to the heart of proving Fermat's Last Theorem. More links & stuff in full description below ↓↓↓ Audible: www.audible.com/numberphile More Numberphile...
========== This is actually super interesting to me,because it's one of the most famous proofs of all time.It's the proof for Fermat's last theorem, which Andrew Wiles famously solved.Now I don't wanna explain that,what I want to explain is what's at the heart of that proof.It's actually not what Wiles spent seven years on, it'sit's actually something else.It's the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture which is now called modularity.So we're gonna say is Fermat's last theorem is trueand has to be just as obvious as the
fact that one doesn't equal two.In this case, Fermat's theorem reduces down to something called modularity,it's the modularity theorem.So it's not 1 doe...
