The Wonders of Arithmetic from Pierre Simon de Fermat - страница 3

But this is about science and can it really be something interesting?

In the one, that we are taught, it is hardly, but in the true science there can be really amazing wonders! Because, unlike conventional belles-lettres, science is not just a literary embodiment of the author’s idea, everything here is much more complicated, since he should reflect not invented by him, but the truest reality, which can always be checked and if something is wrong, then the whole work will go down the drain. Such are the cruel laws of this genre. However, really, if you just look at the content of the book … there are some problems, tasks, refutations … outwardly it looks somehow not very intriguing. But the impression will change when we after the two wonderful pictures at once take the bull by the horns – we give another picture by our hero with his really written marks in the margins of one old book …

Book, named Conic Section

and right behind it suddenly … bubuh!!!

Pic. 5. The Page of the Diophantus’ “Arithmetic” Edition 1621 and the Restored Text of the Fermat Last Theorem in the Margins

Oh, what is it??? … This is just not possible!!! Even eyes cannot believe. A page from Diophantus’ “Arithmetic” only an earlier edition 1621 from Fermat’s personal copy of the book with the most famous theorem on the margins, from which the entire scientific world is still in a fever! Everyone knows this book has been lost! But where does it come from?

From there! The book was so well hidden that so far no one knew about it!

Yeah … and what's next?

The next is that Fermat’s binomial formula is from this book of ours, where it will be derived, and it is easily to make sure that formula is true. Take any two numbers x, y and the third z their sum (or difference), substitute in the formula and everything will be OK! Isn't that curious?

Well, but what is the avail of this formula and what is its significance?

But without it the Fermat Last Theorem will remain unproven!

Yeah… would Fermat really hide such a treasure from everyone?

Well, that's a good question. Anyway, the plot is already twisted in the right direction and quite famously … although this is not even the beginning and only a light aperitif, but it acting already is oh so good!
