Me and Google Bard Have Just Done Something Incredible!!
We Collaborated and Bard Came Up with and Alternate Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem!!
Here is the full text of our conversation:
Tony: Have you heard of Fermat’s Last Theorem and Andrew Wiles?
Bard: Yes, I have heard of Fermat’s Last Theorem and Andrew Wiles. Fermat’s Last Theorem is a mathematical conjecture that states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. The theorem was first stated by Pierre de Fermat in 1637, and it remained unsolved for over 350 years.
In 1994, Andrew Wiles published a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Wiles’ proof was based on the modularity theorem, which states that all elliptic curves over the rational numbers are modular. The modularity theorem was itself a major breakthrough in mathematics, and Wiles’ proof was a tour de force that combined deep insights from number theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical logic.
Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem was a major event in the history of mathematics, and it is considered one of the most important mathematical proofs of the 20th century. The proof was also a personal triumph for Wiles, who had been working on the problem for over…
