    Fermat's Lifetime

    In Fermat's lifetime he proved the case when n=4

  • Fermat's Conjecture

    Fermat's initial conjecture of Fermat's Last Theorem

  • Euler's Proof

    Euler proved Fermat's Last Theorem for the case n=3

  • Lejeune Dirichlet's Proof

    Lejeune Dirichlet proved Fermat's Last Theorem for the case n=5

  • Adrien Marie Legendre's Proof

    Adrien Marie Legendre proved Fermat's Last Theorem for the case n=5

  • Gabriel Lame's Proof

  • Proof for all n < 125,000

    With the use of a computer, Fermat's Last Theorem was proved for all n < 125,000

  • Yoichi Miyaoka's Proof

    Yoichi Miyaoka proved Fermat's Last Theorem in an arithmetic algebraic geometric way which made this proof easier for the public to understand. There were flaws in this proof.

  • Andrew Wiles and Richard Taylor Proof

    Finally in 1995 a valid proof of Fermat's Last Theorem was presented and publish in the Annals of Mathematics
