Fermat's Conjecture Simple Answer to a Simple Question

Authors: Giovanni Di Savino

Fermat, studying Book II of Diophantus' Arithmetica, in the pages dedicated to the problems and observations around the Pythagorean Theorem, in a marginal note of the book, reports: "It is impossible to write a cube as the sum of two cubes or a fourth power as the sum of two fourth powers or, in general, no number that is a power greater than two can be written as the sum of two powers of the same value". This conjecture, known for many years as Fermat's last theorem, became a theorem because Prof. Andrew Wiles demonstrated that c^n≥3 ≠ a^n≥3 + b^n≥3
