Pierre de Fermat died on January 12, 1665, at Castres, in the present-day department of Tarn. [23] The oldest and most prestigious high school in Toulouse is named after him: the Lycée Pierre-de-Fermat. French sculptor Théophile Barrau made a marble statue named Hommage à Pierre Fermat as a tribute to Fermat, now at the Capitole de Toulouse.
Fermat's factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: N = a 2 − b 2 . {\displaystyle N=a^{2}-b^{2}.} That difference is algebraically factorable as ( a + b ) ( a − b ) {\displaystyle (a+b)(a-b)} ; if neither factor equals one, it is a proper ...
In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat's conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation a n + b n = c n for any integer value of n greater than 2. The cases n = 1 and n = 2 have been known since antiquity to have infinitely many solutions. [1]
In projective space the Fermat cubic is given by w 3 + x 3 + y 3 + z 3 = 0. {\displaystyle w^{3}+x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}=0.} The 27 lines lying on the Fermat cubic are easy to describe explicitly: they are the 9 lines of the form ( w : aw : y : by ) where a and b are fixed numbers with cube −1, and their 18 conjugates under permutations of coordinates.
The Fermat prize was created in 1989 and is awarded once every two years in Toulouse by the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse. The amount of the Fermat prize has been fixed at 20,000 Euros for the twelfth edition (2011).
Pierre Fermat had an older half-brother of the same name Pierre who died prematurely. He was the son of Dominique Fermat's first wife Francoise Cazeneuve. This Pierre was baptized 20. August 1601. The mathematician Pierre de Fermat was the son of his father's second wife Claire de Long and was born in 1607.

The quotient is named after Pierre de Fermat. If the base a is coprime to the exponent p then Fermat's little theorem says that q p ( a ) will be an integer. If the base a is also a generator of the multiplicative group of integers modulo p , then q p ( a ) will be a cyclic number , and p will be a full reptend prime .
