Dr. Gerald R. Rising, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, SUNY University at Buffalo, discusses his
new book, Inside Your Calculator. He was invited to speak at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library - November 29, 2007. The topic of this video is Fermat's Last Theorem - Inside Your Calculator.
I think I am very close to a proof of FLT, and something actually much greater based on a new type of mathematics I have discovered (which I found by examining the works of Fermat closely), but 500 characters is too short to contain it.

@SNUGandSESOR for integers they're the same

@coooldude777 - I was merely stating that it handles large values and will calculate the large products in his sample. With a good library, BASIC could do the same thing. e.g. In Python, you could print 5034958902834239048902384**2929348 without an issue. - So it was merely a statement. - BTW, calling others stupid wasn't out of line but calling me a noob is outright slanderous! :)

@TLucretiusCarus
are you stupid? A programming language itself has nothing to do with "how well" it works with numbers
nice try n00bie

@NiteAngel That's the point, it's a seemingly simple question and yet there is no simple proof. In fact it takes some of the most complex mathematics in the world to prove this, and was only proven very recently

...And where is the second part to this video?

@pyramidiot1 simple terms.1*1/1+1-1=1......let switch it backwards 1-1+1/1*1=1........lets mix it.....1+1*1-1/1=1 why is this significant?

I ran across this, don't understand it or understand the significance? I was searching for the number 3 which is the first fermat's number, he just said fermat's made it as a (what they thought) joke. After so long, he just goes on and on and on and on and on.....please someone tell me why would this be necessary to learn?
