What is recorded here?
For an integer n > 2, no positive integers a, b and c satisfy a^n + b^n = c^n.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The original proof work and Claude’s later formalization belong to separate categories. Fermat’s formulation is not the surviving proof.
