@headfirstonly@mastodon.social Of course, the question remains: Did Wiles rediscover Fermat's proof, or did he develop a brand-new one? Given how much 20th century math Wiles used, it seems likely that Fermat's proof, if it exists, remains undiscovered.

@Legit_Spaghetti@mastodo.neoliber.al I'd pretty much put it as a certainty that Wiles's proof isn't Fermat's.
