The proof Wiles finally came up with (helped by Richard Taylor) was something Fermat would never have dreamed up. It tackled the theorem indirectly, by means of an enormous bridge that mathematicians ...
Ben Butler is selling the DIY Mathematical Bridge so that members of the public, future engineers, and model enthusiasts can try to replicate the bridge, which links two parts of Queen’s College near ...
The full bridge would offer mathematicians the hope of illuminating vast swaths of mathematics by passing concepts back and forth across it. Many problems, including Fermat’s Last Theorem, seem ...
