Star Trek TNG – Fermat’s Last Theorem

Riker and Picard discuss Fermat’s Last Theorem in “The Royale.” Captain Picard: ‎”For 800 years people have been trying to solve it (Fermat’s Last Theorem)…”

Andrew Wiles did solve it after more than 350 years after Fermat first mentioned the proposition in the margin of his Arithmetica in 1637. Wiles proved FLT in 1994 and it was published in 1995. Apparently, the writers of ST TNG thought this theorem was completely inaccessible.

Euler Formula

The Euler formula, sometimes also called the Euler identity, states

where is the imaginary unit. Note that Euler’s polyhedral formula is sometimes also called the Euler formula, as is the Euler curvature formula.

The special case of the formula with gives the beautiful identity

an equation connecting the fundamental numbers and , the fundamental operations , , and exponentiation, the most important relation , and nothing else. Gauss is reported to have commented that if this formula was not immediately obvious, the reader would never be a first-class mathematician.
