Student Arithmetic

Date:  Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Location:  3866 East Hall (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM)

Title:  The Saga of Fermat's Last Theorem

Abstract:   In this talk, we cover highlights in the saga of solving FLT (especially the investigations of Mazur, Frey, Serre, Ribet, and Wiles). More than that, we expect to motivate (most of) the key constructions involved in that line of investigation, in anticipation of more in-depth talks given by Ari and Jake.
