Pierre de Fermat: Biography of a Great Thinker

As a mathematician, Pierre de Fermat is known as the "Prince of Amateurs." He was actually a lawyer, but worked on math as a hobby. He helped found probability theory and analytic geometry, and made many contributions to number theory. He is possibly best known for "Fermat's Last Theorem."
For math enthusiasts, we also have a video explaining Fermat's Little Theorem: • Fermat's Little Theore...

If anybody wants Info on intro music it is Mozart Symphony No. 40

[@kyonaerinphwa3032]

Thx

[@haimbenavraham1502]

It's amazing what you got through in just 5 minutes. Beautifully articulated and smoothly impressionable.

[@roccococolombo2044]

To be clear, Fermat, in "reconstructing" Apollonius' work "De locis planis", was not restoring an ancient book in the physical sense. but attempting to reconstitute, the mathematical content of the work of Apollonius, which had been lost. He used references and quotations in other ancient works, to infer or reconstruct Apollonius' original mathematical theories or proofs.

[@SleepyClassesIAS]

Just finished reading a complete book on Fermat. Your video could include a lot more info. It's still good though,

[@How.i.met.yourmother]

where can i find more info? i need to write a report on him

[@raunitsingh676]

Could you tell me the name of the book, also some other awesome maths history books

[@RanbirDeepiYoutube]

What's the name of the book?

[@thewolverine7516]

Tell us the name of that book.

[@kichigan1]

Great series!

[@StraussBR]

você tem uma bela voz Socratica E o seu ingles é muito bom mas quando fala inglês você ainda não deixa a sua voz sair confortável mente como faz no por tugues Sou fã do seu canal, você tem muito talento obrigado!

[@himanshumittal3415]

Okay, I love this channel!

[@counterstriving]

Well done!

[@kunslipper]

Thank you so much.

[@kyonaerinphwa3032]

Wow, thank you, you just finished my entire project

[@jamesleng8210]

Fermat wrote a letter to Descartes that gave him the idea of analytic geometry.

[@madisontaylor5647]

Thanks for helping me with my essay

[@RoulDukeGonzo]

Some people say Fermat was joking with his margin note.

[@without9103]

I like to think he did have a proof, obviously with the maths known at that time. That would be awesome.

[@arkahalder1248]

Fantastic..pls do one on on Euclid and Euler

[@christopheryang6416]

The adventure to go for proving something is a worthy course.

[@kyonaerinphwa3032]

What was the restored book name again?

[@Viewpoint314]

Nice videos

[@johnwalker6318]

What kind of Wiles, do you have???

[@alishibli4720]

This channel is beautiful

[@Ram-jt1ky]

I want the Music at the start of video. Name of music please?

[@luishenriquesimplicioribei666]

Mozart Symphony No. 40 - 1st movement, Molto allegro

[@NadaII]

Thank you for helping with my weaker Jeopardy areas.

[@johnwalker6318]

Has Ruby found A perleman???

[@MAFiA303]

thanks for making the video. I still think math is way cooler than classical music in the background and reading from a TelePrompter

[@mrosskne]

so did fermat think you have to write proofs in margins or something?

[@joaovictorsilva9908]

Grava em português também por favor

[@byenyyychannel7291]

Is it pronounced as "FERMAT"or "FERMA"? I hope you can help me.

[@without9103]

'Fermah' but with an outrageous french accent.

[@k_meleon]

@@without9103 fairmah is actually a better pronunciation

[@brainstormingsharing1309]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnwalker6318]

Qui tu pense??

[@cutestar564]

I 'll also leave a notebook with formulas lol short margin notebook

[@medicallifewithjohn]

Mashallah

[@D0GGy333]

He knew Occitan also, his native language

[@rrycian]

so its like pierre de fermat left us on read

[@greensombrero3641]

butter or margin?

[@bhmarque]

I'm self!

[@prajnaprajna1923]

USE THE CODE TO SOLVE FERMAT Always be correct (x^1/a+y^1/a)^na=(z^1/a+x^1//a+y^1/a - z^1/a)^na. Call d=x^1/a+y^1/a - z^1/a =>(x^1/a+y^1/a)^na=(z^1/a+d)^na. They are composed of two groups One group contains x^n,y^n and z^n and the other contains all irrational numbers. z^n=x^n+y^n. Impossible!

I knew there was no way she knew math! Shes just an actress; a very talented one if you will

[@kyonaerinphwa3032]

?

[@BBonBon]

If Fermat lied about the margin and the proof he may be the biggest troll of all time hahaha

[@user-me5vv9wh3u]

I have proved on 09/14/2016 the ONLY POSSIBLE proof of the Great Fermat's Theorem (Fermata!). I can pronounce the formula for the proof of Fermat's great theorem: 1 - Fermath's great theorem NEVER! and nobody! NOT! HAS BEEN PROVEN !!! and NEVER!!!! 2 - proven! THE ONLY POSSIBLE proof of Fermat's theorem 2A - Me opened : - EXIST THE ONLY POSSIBLE proof of Fermat's Great Theorem 3 - Fermat's great theorem is proved universally-proven for all numbers 4 - Fermat's great theorem is proven in the requirements of himself! Fermata 1637 y. 5 - Fermat's great theorem proved in 2 pages of a notebook 6 - Fermat's great theorem is proved in the apparatus of Diophantus arithmetic 7 - the proof of the great Fermat theorem, as well as the formulation, is easy for a student of the 5th grade of the school to understand !!! 8 - Me! opened the GREAT! Mystery! Fermat's theorem! (not "simple" - "mechanical" proof) !!!!- NO ONE! and NEVER!

[@thewolverine7516]

I think he may have a proof but he himself didn't know if it was correct or not. Because after fermat died, many many mathematicians tried to give proof of FLT but failed. So I think, he made an error which he couldn't notice.

[@lifeisneverthesame910]

Fermat, self taught math..

[@charliemoll5435]

Math mama

[@AdityaPrasad007]

There is something.... something that I can't put my finger on. Distracting me from the content. Is her accent? nope. her face expressions? hand gestures? hmm maybe because her voice is whispery? But nope, she speaks loudly enough. Except at the end of some sentences. I guess it must be because of how pretty she is.

[@davidarmoush2484]

basically, looking back at it i was distracted by her the whole time...

[@AdityaPrasad007]

@@davidarmoush2484 yeah this is the first time I've realised being attractive can be a demerit in teaching.

[@ramdwivedi1825]

I came for you pretty girl..😍😍
