Russian Scientist Claims to Have Cracked Fermat’s Theorem

Via MosNews.

A doctor of technical sciences from the Siberian city of Omsk has proved Fermat’s theorem.

Footage with Alexander Ilyin proving the theorem was broadcast by NTV channel on Tuesday. Ilyin presented the results of his work to the mathematicians and journalists in the Russian Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics.

The Russian Academy of Sciences is now set to consider Ilyin’s work and will publish it in one of its magazines if his arguments have no defects. So far, Ilyin’s colleagues from Omsk have approved his work.

Fermat’s great theorem states that “there are no positive integers x, y, and z such that xn+yn=zn in which n is a natural number greater than 2.”
