Hello - A post by Denny

[sasguru]

Today I woke up and brushed my teeth. It was raining. I had my toast and tea. Then I went to the bus stop. I was feeling good. There was a man at the bus stop. He was reading the Financial Times. How boring! It has no pictures and lots of words. In the bus was a Metro newspaper. That is much more interesting. It had pictures of Amy and Whitney and Kylie. They are all so pretty and talented. I wish I was them.

Anyway I'll tell you more later.

Hugs and kisses,
Denny.

Forgot to mention, the bus was taking me to the train station. A train station is where you catch a train. I caught a train to go to London. London is a big city. I was going to London to buy Heat magazine.

Heat magazine is amazing. It has lots and lots of pictures in it and not many words. In fact, the only real word that I can make out is the one on the cover that says Heat in big red letters. I like red, it's my favourite colour, after orange. I love oranges but not as much as I like apples but not as much as I like Mr Kiplings apple pies.

I'm tired now.

Goodnight.

Is this the new Test Please Delete? The drivel is far higher quality!

Actually, I indulged in a bit of light reading - I was reading about Fermat's Last Theorem. Fascinating stuff. Not that I'd expect a birdbrain like you to know anything about it.

--------

In 1847 Lamé announced that he had a solution of Fermat's Last Theorem and sketched out a proof. Liouville suggested that the proof depended on a unique decomposition into primes which was unlikely to be true. However, Cauchy supported Lamé. The argument which followed indicates the totally different atmosphere surrounding mathematical research of this period from that which we know today. Perhaps we could illustrate the point causing this argument. Complex numbers of the form a + b√-3, where a, b are integers, form a ring. A prime number in this ring is defined in an analogous way to a prime integer, namely a number whose only divisors of the form a + b√-3 other than itself are those numbers with multiplicative inverses. In this ring 4 can be written as a product of prime numbers in two different ways

4 = 22 and 4 = (1 + √-3)(1 -√-3).

Gauss had proved around 1801 that numbers of the form a + b√-1, where a, b are integers, could be written uniquely as a product of prime numbers of the form a + b√-1 in an analogous manner to the unique decomposition of an integer as a product of prime integers. In fact, numbers of the form a + b +c2 where a, b, c are integers and is a complex cube root of 1, also have unique factorisation, and this can be used to prove the n = 3 case of Fermat's last Theorem.

The rest of "your" text is from here.

That's plagiarism!

No that's not plagiarism, that's being a grass.

Grass as in rat? If so then I am a fluffy tree rat

Fermat!

Isn't he the guy that said the area of a right triangle can't be a square.

Now there's insight for you

Besides, he didn't publish his theorem, his Friends did, years after he died, He was too embarrassed to publish them himself.

Just googled this:

Fermat almost certainly wrote the marginal note around 1630, when he first studied Diophantus's Arithmetica. It may well be that Fermat realised that his remarkable proof was wrong, however, since all his other theorems were stated and restated in challenge problems that Fermat sent to other mathematicians. Although the special cases of n = 3 and n = 4 were issued as challenges (and Fermat did know how to prove these) the general theorem was never mentioned again by Fermat.

Didn't Spike Milligan do something like this?

SG - you really should return to tpd - you could take us to new drivel levels...
