The Journey to Prove Fermat's Last Theorem

For more than 350 years, a single problem stumped the world of mathematics. 

The problem was extremely simple to state, yet it proved fiendishly difficult to prove. 

For several centuries, bounties were placed on finding a solution, and many failed to prove it. 

Finally, in 1994, seemingly out of nowhere, a proof was offered, but it was far cry from the initial promise of being simple.

Learn more about Fermat’s Last Theorem and its legacy in the world of mathematics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
