What does FLT mean in MATHEMATICS

Fermat's Last Theorem is a mathematical theorem proposed by the French lawyer, mathematician, and amateur historian Pierre de Fermat in 1637. The theorem states that there are no non-zero integers a, b, and c such that a^n + b^n = c^n for any values of n greater than two.

Pierre de Fermat was a French lawyer, mathematician, and amateur historian who made significant contributions to mathematics during the 17th century. He is perhaps best known for his work on Fermat's Last Theorem which he proposed in 1637.

In 1637 De Fermat wrote in the margin of his copy of Arithmetica that he had discovered "a truly marvelous proof" of the theorem which involved an area now known as analytic geometry; however he said this proof was too large to fit into the margin so it was never written down.

Though many mathematicians have attempted to solve this problem over the centuries since it was first proposed by Pierre de Fermant, proving or disproving it has proven difficult due to its complexity. As such only people with extensive knowledge and understanding of mathematics may be able to understand it fully.

Proving or disproving this mathematical theorem would have far-reaching implications for mathematics as well as other areas of science including physics and cryptography due to its complexity and difficulty to solve thus far.
