  • Upon his death, an equation was found scrawled in the margin of his notes. xn + yn = zn, where n is greater than 2, which he said had no solution in whole numbers. To this he added the phrase "Remarkable proof", but he did not live to write the proof down. The problem became known Fermat's last theorem. (TNG: "The Royale" ) His theorem was eventually proved by Andrew Wiles, but people continued to try to find alternative proofs for the next eight hundred years. These included, among others, Jean-Luc Picard, Tobin and Jadzia Dax. (TNG: "The Royale" ; DS9: "Facets") Fermat's name was not mentioned on screen beyond simply "Fermat" According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 269) , the birth and death years of Pierre de Fermat were 1601 and 1665, respectively. However, this does not fit well with Picard's assertion that people had been working on Fermat's theorem for 800 years.

He is best known for Fermat's Last Theorem, which he described in a note at the margin of a copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica. He communicated most of his work in letters to friends, often with little or no proof of his theorems. This allowed him to preserve his status as an "amateur" while gaining the recognition he desired. This naturally led to priority disputes with contemporaries such as Descartes and Wallis. He developed a close relationship with Blaise Pascal.
