Pythagorean theorem = 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

You have to prove that there is no non-trivial whole number solution to the equation x^(n)+y^(n)=z^(n) Where n is greater than 2

Feynman's angle of attack on Fermat's Last Theorem is also really cool

Now would be a good time to remember Sophie Germain, who was barred from attending university but proved the equation x^p + y^p = z^p where p doesn't divide x,y,z has no solutions for primes p < 100.

It's over a hundred pages long :)

The lesson here with Fermat is that if you’re going to prove something, prove it while you are alive. For example DeWille Frommer (1738-1805) was sure he had proved his alternative to theory of Gravity, which he called EarthSuck. But he died and the theory has yet to be proven.

There goes my long-term plan for proving that P=/=NP.
