Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 18 Σεπ 2014
Gresham Professor of Geometry, Raymond Flood, begins his series 'Great Mathematicians, Great Mathematics' with Pierre de Fermat:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
seventeenth century mathematician Pierre de Fermat is mainly remembered
for contributions to number theory even though he often stated his
results without proof and published very little. He is particularly
remembered for his ‘last theorem’ which was only proved in the mid-1990s
by Andrew Wiles. He also stated other influential results, in
particular Fermat’s ‘Little Theorem’ about certain large numbers which
can be divided by primes. His ‘Little Theorem’ is the basis of important
recent work in cryptography and internet security.The transcript and
downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham
College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
made available for free download from our website. There are currently
over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.Website:
