NP-complete problems are problems with solutions. The issue is that the general solution is order non-polynomial in time complexity. Thus, your argument is invalid.
You'd be better off citing [Goedel's incompleteness theorem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems) which states that there are problems for which no solution can exist. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUdE9MMDRTMlMzNDVGUG1LcXlUN1Q4d0poNGpJYm9Wb0FtOHhGYkxxM3lCSnB0a285bzdhZHhQd1lnNkpKVEQxbVZ5OGQ4Sl96WUk4Q3RKOFpIN1RNQkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzUlhreF9adFN4S256dHoteTVrbkkweE81dWpjTjRELW9LaktsNnZhRnNNVTJJLXN6OURHV284Nm1FZ2dJQk1wcjVCbXNKd0drN1JZYmcxYUJDY1Z2dnRnajBCNnRkY094TkRwZFN6ZnJfUHg4NEp6Zi1YcHFXVllqNXFVakJlYzF1ejk3Tlk5YVFpemZMREdPUEFEaGRrR1lYbWlEQVRRRGlLcWFyRWh3LWdIUldfQW5NVE5qd1VRVFZhQVBJdHFaNlBXR1dMSFRmWXM5d1FFeWo5TFhzdz09 |
Yes, and it's kind of the same with that God paradox. *If God is almighty, he can create a rock so heavy not even he could lift.*
(Anyway, if we can prove something can't be proven, that's also a winning situation for mathematics.) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUNmRUT3Y2QmM1WVpWN3B0dGVWMjRFNE9DWGxnZVBZT1paaGg3eWdrYnU3TGxLcEVqdVVwdHRjS1V4dzJWUlFtVHhOWTFfQzFybFRiekNZaDktV085Y3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzRnU4T2k3Tno4TjJBU0JaUnhZYjBGQmVjWi03NWFEMncxNUcxUmR5YVNTMkJLZW9OZUpHUmhvaDZSZktPeDdWcHpraUVYcm9kSlVQUGNhSU8wcTc0bnY4d1EwUmVJbGpDWHpLUmgyd2VRUmxQdjItMTE0aWZDQjNJdnB6YnBFRk9GQWxKd3hMY3ota1B6SDlyVlJna2xHUFgtME5meWZUaEYzVzBhOHVMZjBJSjZ0cEp1cm5EamtUUzhSa2w0V29qNkY3ZlFCRGJ5VzhQU3RtZHRpRVdOdz09 |
I usually end up saying "Remember all of the hardest problems you ever had to do in high school math or freshmen calculus/linear algebra? Imagine all of those questions being at least 4 times harder and beginning with 'Show that...'". Naturally, this is largely in jest, but there's a grain of truth to it. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUeU5fVF9GOUpfNjdIUFNGd0NCLW56ZjVEWTduRjBOcXR5MzZHVkpZbWZUNE1SOEFLUmU3X2k2MnRsM3J2bGd5TG9ZOWdpekd1NXRrN3MxOEJQOVVDSmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzZ1IyNlAzaUxwVUVzTll5a2ZCZnI3Rk5SRHhORXNrV0xtNVhPZDd1STNMeTNLTG93azdGVHVZX09NTWp1R0NZWGpBTkFFcFNvVzBtM05GQlF6SFAxMzNSN0RxbTRRc0JFYld0OFpPekJuNnF6b0FUMU0xXzJhNXVYcEI3RmFuZ1ZPRHY3RVlGekplYkMzb1VUX3REOGdsQlhqNFN0eGNJVVFLQS03WnNkcGVmWUhxX0lBR3l1NFZMbTFEbFdLRWhWN2V5MnZfTm0ydUdBblFkbm9sclVlZz09 |

Well, think of it this way, with a math degree, you can go into business, since you would understand (more or less) the essence of dynamics, modelling, etc.
You could go into Computer Science, since you understand functions, formal systems, etc.
You could go into Aeronautics, since you understand mathematical physics, modelling, etc.
You could go into Physics proper, esp Theoretical physics, which is more and more like pure math every day.
You could decide to study pure math- of course, algebra or analysis or topology or whatever. Researching the new, cool cutting edge of math.
You could go into politics/urban planning/etc, again, all it is is modelling and dynamics.
Really, a math degree + some specialization = every other science/engineering topic there is. In fact, an engineering degree would just be more of the specialization and less of the math. But I would argue that more of the extra specialization would just be approximations of the math you would learn. For instance, one of my friends is a biomed major, She takes a huge number of classes (5 at last count) on various "types" of modelling -- modelling the heart or the skin or the bones or whatever. I've taken two classes related to that, more or less, ordinary differential equations, and advanced differential equations (basically partial differential equations + boundary value problems). Both of these courses covered the general theory of her 5 courses, and as such, when she was _taking those courses_ I was able to do the better part of her homework, because all it was was a special case of what I had already learned, in less time. The only price I had to pay was the abstractness of the course, and if you already have a head for that, then really, the price is minimal.
Similarly, I've taken graduate level courses in 'modern' physics (quantum and relativity, basically) with minimal difficulty, not because I'm super smart, but rather because I already understood the underlying math -- all I had to understand was how it was applied, not how it worked.
I like to think of math, really, as the liberal arts (done right) of the sciences. It covers everything, but (as opposed to L.A.) supercedes (in some sense) everything. Math let's me be a science junkie, I can walk into any science or engineering class (with exception of biology, maybe, but that even depends on the course) and be able to keep up, not because of any intrinsic ability, but because I spent my skill points learning math.
That said- my intention is to get my PhD and teach/do research, perhaps, therefore, my view is biased, but I really think that Math suits best for someone who likes all of the sciences, maybe has a preference for one over another. Remember, it's not wrong (and in fact, quite the contrary) to minor in another subject, or even double major. You get 4 years (typically) in college, get your moneys worth. Do Math + a Science, then you'll have all the employer's/grad schools gobbling you up. :) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUYUw3OWRYRGp5N2puWDNVelN4ZmlweWFaM25QNjU3UnY5XzBsd2FReFRPTlh5V294bnV2NDRMQ2hmYTJKTEpjTlpwRWR1b2tTVEZMaTg2MUJ6UllGdUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzVnpoMGxDZkNpWEJPUVRGNEw0MnFseXNoazkxUmlPaWEyTG53X2xoWHJBUHlUS2NCdTZBTjhZSkV2Zjk5Z0hJWmRjQWhHNWZCVk5IQjhYQXNBbWJud2xUOUZRbE9tMU1FYlp4bUM5Nm9xOUZoZXFpUDBlYmEwWEhQUU43WVQ4b1VoOXlaTzlrNWVZdllVblhXWURxVDVMamg4MFVRLXJoeVhBUW5ydWVSamlyaHNwY3NoQV9pNUI2TmFvQ1RzVjJjUGhGWWxqWXc3aVN5YXhYdTV3VFdiUT09 |
I get alot of people asking me (in response to learning I'm a Math Major) if I'm either "good with numbers" or if I can do some inordinate arithmetic problem in my head. I generally respond by saying, "In the Math world, everything you learned in High school is roughly regarded as 'arithmetic', we don't generally bother with that, we leave the numbers to the accountants." or "I'm a Math major, not an accountant"

Well, if you prove something can't be proven -- doesn't that (at least for some things) mean it's proven?
Eg. Imagine we show that that the Reimann Hypothesis cannot be proven true or false -- as per Godel's[1] Incompleteness Theorem. Then that means (since it cannot be proven false) that no counterexample exists, since no counterexample exists, then doesn't that mean it must be true, since there are no counterexamples?
I think I remember reading this argument in "Music of the Primes" or "Godel[1], Escher, and Bach" Can't remember which one, but it was a wonderful little brain teaser...

Well, if we prove it cannot be proven true nor false, we can't know if it's true or false, but examples and counterexamples may help us conjecture on its validity. If there aren't any counterexamples, as you say, but also can't be proven false, then we can only believe it's true, but since it cannot be proven true, our beliefs will be all we have about this conjecture, because it's proven that no formal proof can be applied to it.
If you prove that something can't be proven, you are not proving its falsehood, but only implying that no formal proof will lead to its validity. Conjectures work this way, only that conjectures are statements that are widely believed to be true but haven't been proven yet, not that they are impossible to prove.
I can't think of an example of an unprovable law. (I mean, isn't formal proof all we have as mathematicians? Then again, I have not quite grokked orders of logic and stuff like that. Maybe something is unprovable within a certain logic system but provable in another.) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUTjllTFl3Z3RZTTJ1dFA1VmtJUDlRc1g5ZUlYdU1qOVg5YjYtakVzbWlMdWtNNkl5ZnM1bl9sRDhwQW5mekRWOHRBOF8wQVRYbHFndVI2aG5nYmgyNHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzRnhudWxvLTItVFU5T3lNRzQzVldwY3ZETG1ORW5rc09ZT05qanRIWmtjYWE1NnNoZjd6cS05WHV2eGNjRXFQcGo1TVJmMlJvOVJYakRManRxclBSZExvRlhuNThWb0c2RlpiaFpkWlZpTEhBdHZNN08wdlpRU3FUUi1FY2VJbWgxWnJkVER0NG1PdTU1cWdCeFdOZGhEaWFFbng2TkRHTXVTd0FpSDdQYUEzakxoQWtaTjU5N3RPMk1saU9ZQmpMX090UDZ6cGtSRmFCRm9LbzRhOFkzdz09 |

Let me see if I got this right?
All it says is that:
We can make matematical statements asserting a mathematical fact, but which we cannot decide if they are mathematically consistent or inconsistent together with the current logical structure we consider mathematically consistent, by utilizing this current mathematical structure?

Hmm, that's a very interesting viewpoint. I shall, of course, have to steal it and use it without proper citation :)

I know a surprising number of math grad students who don't like any of the sciences. My experiences are similar to yours, however. I've found it much easier to learn *and enjoy* physics now that I have a decent math background, for example. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUSjh3cmY1LVBZdk5ZUHVQTm52eUlNVEZJVU5WOUFFZ1RUMmU1c2tiVGxJRTFxUXhEYU84UGozT2tIcWVBQ2VoZVhtaFdQZ0dFWm5BdFhHOGQwLXVWUnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzVHVhTUJ5NzJPTUZOa1d6WThqUE5vVDEzbTgyR3BMSDhBNDl6QmY4emN6VnlOOEtpVjZwRzlObXBOSE5NVlhpc3d0U3ZQQlFLTU1yNEZCR2lVS1lDYjh5S1ItQ2k0WVJ4MXpfQXVuWHBpZ24yaS1iOXRYdnlUbkIxWll3bDM0eWFBYlNEY19YMHBVZVlWT2s3cjlVYnF0U25yRVZNZVZRU2oyeC1LMUVJenJBR0pCTzBpVlpYRUlod2ZoTF9zODUtVW9iZFFSY0VTNGNMOGxqcUZLVHNaUT09 |

Yes, that's the general idea.
But I'm saying that only happens when we cannot prove something is true or false, and we really know we cannot prove it. I'm lacking an example, though.
Suppose someone came up today with a proof claiming that it's impossible to decide whether 196 is a Lychrel number or not, that if it ever becomes a palindromic number, we'll never know. That's my point. It's not like he's saying it won't become a palindromic number, but he's not saying it will either. (Of course, it's just a silly example, I doubt if there are statements that are proven not to be provable either true or false, but that's parent's idea.) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUaU9maUV1clpuOEpCbEJHVHUwU200U3BtbnJwaWFZUVBOS3lDa05JTXNBWHZaNWV6NzdyeDVpVGgtc2pWWU1SNWx4VkFqUGRuU3B2WktyUDBQV3VIQ1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzTGJaTHVPdjBJLUVid1NGTXcyTTRybnZ5UDF5bzVVY2Z4dzVnc1lTM1ZrRXdVZ0g3VFlOc2V5U25PRFFFM0k1LW41ZmJjc2tOZTJLcEFVSXE5cE54VUNlZHdfTnZBOG91NENwWElBSWRDM1JGdm1Fd1VPWFlYSi1UNGpKaHh6RHlWc0hTLUNKQkZtX3hXYXZDUnNOX2dBa3BhalNNeDRLOXR3eDlmZGhZNFlDM2xab1RSNEZiUUlYYUFadUlwUTJjekxzX1hjeW5PN1RKVHFsT2ptQjVKUT09 |

What's the technical difference between the chaotic, seemingly-random motions of clothes/water in a typical washing machine and the intentional, "true" chaos induced by these machines?

I'd expect there to be more uniformity in the washing. If the position of any article of clothing depends greatly on the initial conditions, then it seems likely that any one article of clothing would move around a lot, into a variety of configurations - this would even the washing process out, as opposed to some process that might move some clothing within only small areas and in constant ways.
On the other hand, this is probably just marketing bs which doesn't help at all. At the worst, any chaos could make the washing more unpredictably inconsistent. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-03-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUbVgxQ01hMHVFcS1FZ1owdlR6NGdrUUlYcjdlSDhnT2UzNWJSN2hqaG9PS3djMFVNdlJ0Q2hyMGpienBEOUVQanN3Zmk1NHJjWGRnZWhnN3lvNDFRWXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzX2hORmt4OVFmdm1hQTFIVjBpczVoTnBkVjhCOEgxcDE2MzhjVU53MzFUb1h4eS00VzVzTVJUbHdmWDdyNnNFNjd5ZHJYQzRfQ3ZtS01tRWVMeWhwdkFJaGR4a2I1RW5ZSHNQdGtpUENWTTg3NEYyQlNkSTVIdVVPazBVSXNWMlJBU2JYVC1vNGl0YVhDRjNsUWw2bGxTNTRkdnRhYldKMFlBOFRSLXdNU0k0PQ== |

It also ignores the potential for blood farming.
Just keep a person alive and producing blood and you don't even need to bite them to harvest it, just a razor and a saucer, both of which most barber/doctors had back then if folklore is to be believed.
As time goes by and modern medicine came into being, all you need are some sedatives/coma inducers, a feedbag, colostomy bag/catheter, and some IVs and you can keep a sole "blood farm" alive for 70 years; a very low cost compared to the amount of substance it can provide.
That said, vampiric populations could likely spike as rival clans needed to induce greater numbers, and depending on how fast soldiers died/were replaced the population problems would have continued.

Arnold's book on ODEs: http://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Differential-Equations-V-Arnold/dp/0262510189 ... not only is it a great book in itself, but it should give you an excellent foundation for differential geometry and more advanced geometric mechanics (e.g., Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics, dynamical systems, etc.). | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUckR1Uk90SV9vU1VicnRSQXFMZzBoUGNtNlJ0bXpRSjB4eHVlZktPcUVoaG52NmtLTFBQQ0NCMUhwQkQtVy1mNVZHdlowRXBmSk95ZjRqbGtmcjdFUVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzZkdlZXl6WE1JZDFCcjdzOEhqZzctOU1lZUhKUDJfUHZRWVZBMjU5dkVqUURRTDBqWXJVQzgxdk9jWnRRcUNzeEhfaFhGdzhOTnhqRXl1a2ZoOW85SzhNNjFxajh1UWZLSTZpY1lrSTZOWE1VQ2MtZEc1MWw0Y0x0UEplRnNJUEx1UF9UcEI4cUU0dzRmUlB4Y1JBVFpEOHk1akpkb0FOOE9sX1JrQ2hSOUFUeVBHZWxraDhXUDlfY0NjNEhSYy1XMU9jSWJWaHRZdUJHMFRNQzVuSm1JQT09 |

Pi does not contain phi. If it did, then we must have that pi = 3.14...[finite number of digits][digits of phi]. And thus pi = a + phi/(10^k)
But since phi is the root of a quadratic equation, this would make it possible to construct a quadratic equation with pi as a root, but then pi would not be transcendental, which it is proven to be. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUOXFIX1hNU2VmVEt1aGt1ZklIUF9jQ1UxTkdlbzJLODVOZTRPTm9pTlZ1Y0pid3I2Z2dwWU1wSjJrZk9NdUhyaWNOUVhYSWd3TWRpQWp3d0l2czF2M3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzNGxmcGJxd3VhcUhSV09Lc2pHUTFHaDdxa2RvOW5wMmZnRElpOGdtaDYyemVZV0lBMHV5U05KSHIwV0ZyY3BVM1V0eHJRWDVnSmxTSlVia0dYRTk4WVA3c2ZHc2tyNF90MUJocGViVEw5Ylk4NlpzbVFrM3YwWEY3U2pXbmtFZVR1M0loaVFfTUdOSVU1WG0xZjFpQXhoQUhpRVgzYTRYeEFkbmp2VVFDVzBQem8yZWpIZ2gtOGJTQ2dWV3VfeF9D |

Yeah except no, lambda implements a full closure: it closes over its creation (lexical) context, and pulls stuff from it.
Except in a procedural/OO language, that lexical context is mutable, and the mutations in the context *will* be reflected in the lambda.
In the expression `[(lambda n: i + n) for i in range(10)]`, `i` is part of the lambda's context. Not a specific value, just `i`. And when what `i` refers to is changed by the iteration, the lambda reflects that change. If anything *can be argued* to be broken here it's the list comprehension, because it doesn't generate a complete brand new context on each iteration (now that doesn't mean it's broken, I don't think it is, but that's a matter of personal take/taste).
Haskell is a functional single-binding language, it therefore doesn't expose that "feature.
But that's a *very* old feature of OO languages with closure: Smalltalk leverages it to make e.g. `while` statements unnecessary (note: in smalltalk, an expression enclosed by brackets is a *block*, equivalent to a lambda, `[ 3 ]` is a block that simply returns the value `3`. Smalltalk's blocks have -- among other things -- a `whileTrue` method which takes a block parameter for the execution body). So counting from 0 to 9 in Smalltalk using a `while` looks like this:
i := 0. "smalltalk uses := for assignment; also double quotes for comments and single for strings"
[ i < 10 ] whileTrue: [
Transcript show: i printString; cr.
i := i + 1.
].
And this works, because `i`'s modification is visible from the `[ i < 10 ]` block.
TL;DR, lambda is not broken, its behavior is perfectly coherent with the language and its model, and with other languages in the same class. | r/python | comment | r/Python | 2009-04-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUaFBJYVVMdnZsQV9Xc1p5MTJsY2p5dnpZRVRfR3lHRzYtbHdFOWpyN1F3cjlmLXY1RkF6NFktNVlETl9GQWFVQWZJMWtSd1JGbFB6Z0tibWFZTElDa2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzRERpbGU5bVBVMmVPVlRkemZfMF8xRkdfN0FnMXp4UTVqcGFRNW1ZYS10Y1ZIeWJ6ZC1xZmpzWXdfWWl5VlJ2MkNFcF84VE1XaG9RY2xtOEZ4S1VUSndZSUpRNkp2dDhFR21NYmZkdE51ZTJmQ1NPYnNtQ0YyU3Y0N3JPMXZDMWd6b1l0NTJJeE5TT3FmOTA0cWF6NHJCNkFEWEhrNk9weDh4bzlVcDlmcTJHVEZvWlM5Nm9teG5ja3N1NGdxQXlU |

Wrap your lambda in a lambda, that's the way it's usually done in JS.

But it can't be and it never will be, so it's just a wart that has to be accepted. | r/python | comment | r/Python | 2009-04-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUbmtpYmpLNnZEVmJxSWVDLUxYMnpRdTFmcXg2NVlQclM1S0FLbERyUVVQd1U3QzRZUVFLbWJiajFFRDFmRTRDTzZzTkRuRUdBLXRjTUpJM3ZaU3Y2VFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzdURnTDFrWjVZaEsyVmFlQU5RTlF2d2tlbGdpdVVPdTl2cjZ0eC1zRXVWU2lrRkg3MlBUczZLR1doQnpUMFhzVHhDMjBKcmgwSWNvUl9nZGU1T1FjRVN0aDZ4OXpZbjh4WHotRHNTWG5BZlVUeHpqOXZFNzR2bVd5aUcxbm9VdWx2NmQ1QzZnQlVGc21WbWI3U01KT1R2blVEX3g1Zm53SWJWdWVhaUVULWdlLWJnZ0xJT0M2a05FdjdwWWx3cTNV |
That should be - python's lambda is broken, but not for this *particular* reason. In this case, it's an issue with mutability behaving in a way that the programmer did not expect.

No, it's not broken and comment no. 5 on that post explains exactly why (quoting mcmanus):
Take the following Python example :
>>> i = 1
>>> def f(): return i
>>> f()
1
>>> i = 2
>>> f()
2
I think that everybody expect this behavior and
nobody would want the second call to f() to
return 1. | r/python | comment | r/Python | 2009-04-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUNXhYNE5YQ0tyRE8tVTVIbUh5cHpoRGtxRC00ZnFUZ1o4SWZJTjBmZFVmTTg3al9UVFUzZkgwN2VLRmlBeTBLWHFZSGlGNHZqQ21NQjNGeGZsdGZ3b0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzWFFLbEdSSjFrMXRWc2FMRGtUWDg4X0l6LWtELXFnbl84bFNDeUlCUkI2ZzZ5UTJFZm5XZlQwR1RNZENSNkFzUUJTamlzcTlRaVpsQjlQNWV2eGNWTmpFd0VKYk8yZUVjb2tkdm1aMXFTQXUxWEpFNlozb3JBUlB3bDBIazMzaE96SllVd285R0hOSUpzdmVRcWcxeEJiLXJhMkkyWU5sT2x3Y3c2ZFlLSFJoY2N6R1Y1Szl6SW03dWx5U1NMX1FM |

neat.
This is the exact problem that bites every JavaScript beginner who thinks they've figured out closures.
It's bad enough that [JsLint](http://www.jslint.com/) will flag lone closures within a loop as suspicious.

Very *occasionally* a multi-line lambda would be really handy, but *most* of the time a named function does the job better. | r/python | comment | r/Python | 2009-04-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUbGRoejVreFZkZDFvemw5c3dqSE5COFlDOFkzUVc2MUh5ZzVEc1JYX1RydVo0YXVGb211SlpJUDVmUVNKd3dHSkl1bFgwN3BFOHlYQ3MzNzlMbEpBRnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzbExkZHdJaUtlU1l4ZEJtVjVSLXZ0cnJKQmZGZloyOWpBYUdfaUdNR1NDeFM0SXNyOFFkNjVCRlBzc1FOMDdIY0dEOEFEMlltRG1rYWZncW5ESEsyUkFFVVNrX1Z2c19SQWZSeTIzN0pKWXAzd1V6R1FkTTNJNmQycUNCYno2OVFRbkdZa05rRWZwQzhuMHdVR290QVZaQ20taUtva29kNUZ2bU1IS1gzUlZnQW9wcG1LYXA5UFdRdjlWZUg1SFdh |

Googling for "fermat's last theoreom proof" gave me this as the third suggestion.
My question is, is this proof essentially different from the longish proof Andrew Wiles provided? If it is, isn't this kind of big? It isn't mentioned on Wikipedia but who knows :D
I never tried to read Wiles' proof but it is said to be very technical, which I don't find the proof on the page is. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVULXZDalU2Rjk2VnlyQ2xmTFk5R1FTNVhvalV6cWNCX3V3Z3kta2xwZlpqRlFfOEh1ZUR4UXc1Mi1fOGFibFNiaElyLV9OaTItQUctOGVUd2MtcFJPUHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzZ3oxeTZ6NkZlOFZ0dTNHR3NHMnJNNlZYUkg2VDlBLTRDaEU2cjNNbndleDhoRWt1ZEtQMjRiM3Z5cUxfcUxYYXI0bmpvWDl2bzRoUmNlQUZpZmJLcDZsQnZ2b0FBdTVad3I1N0RGT0lwY2xrVjY3NS1oeS0zTTFHYUpuRmI0V1RjeksyM2l5S19CT0V0NElHd1lONjRpSW5tTFI1NXpBVEdkSVJxdEFfVmpwTlhHcXlOQk5zVHpVX29yTjV4Y2RLMWZFaXpUdW9KYWNqY0VRaVlUZ2pmdz09 |
The paper with Wiles' proof comes in at around 100 pages - Annals of Mathematics 142 (1995) 443-551 - and is extremely technical.
I'm not going to read the site. My mathematics is nowhere near good enough to discern whether or not it is valid but, perhaps cynically, I would argue that if it was valid, it would be academically recognized.
The page doesn't even mention the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, so I guess it's probably different. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUendHVG5VWjMwSEJDNW1CMzZvbnY3T0NMX29GcWhEbzFyWnZDeW13LWlOb041OFZUdkRKU0lDdmhkNmw5WDJhbWxGXzl6bHlrYXBTajZpRFNWLVRWR2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzRkFqSG5SLUpsNEVCQW81YjFQWkRfMDhkd1RKU3BOQ3lQVlZHcjM2bm5haVEzZ3VYUmVfdlVLVDdpUWRzekw2Z3g0cnFpdmd3TXpmWU9hLUtOZ2hhZVRRYVdIWnJxYzQzRHZjLWxxMy1kT0RPWGM0OHJBRVUwYmJub1RiRnVTUXNuRzNoc3p5RXFCMUlqRWxHOHlaU0VoZzdOQ0lBUFo5SEp6ck94cHlDSjhxSEduVWlkSW1IbXJqOXhkMjlYejlqeUdPdzFiMUo1NHB5X2d4eS1obnVnUT09 |

**Edit edit**: It is extremely essentially different. The main difference is that it is wrong.
Well, it claims to cover n>2, but actually only covers n=3, and says "the others will work in the same way". This is especially bad because the author is using a geometric argument, with the equations being second place (and not actually showing the full working).
The page also includes a lot of information about pythagorean triples, which is not really related.
Besides, the case n=3 was only proven in the 18th century by Euler, and even he made some mistakes in it. So I think the actual proof for n=3 is more complicated than this.
Edit: reading a bit more carefully I notice that he uses a wedge shape of length, height and width z to represent the number z^3. With no real explanation. We usually call that a triangular prism with area z^3 / 2. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUeUdZamFWc1VTZWVRQ2MzalBrZ0hZMnZTdUFTZEdwZ2xkMzBxZzUwV2JkNy1tU3lnOUlsZko4MlpaMk1wNGVoY1I4MVZHUWlHVHdsUUJxaVAyY3BHY3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzUmlvZktOdXNjblVzeC1mRjBGUFVKc2gwakh6dHlsS3BMZVFJRUl3eUpzS21CeFFGQ2NuMWtzaldva2hRYm1rZmE3TDlXOGVxdkJRRTNzMUN1UWJod2hza0FKd3ZXWmRMMDRQbWNEeFBpV0NkSmh3SVh4dE8yLXV1bVd6SWpaMVVkUGl0ZFlyMDBNLUtKcTNrcm1XQlBuVnJlemcwNzZLOXV6Y1VuRjQ2UGRwZkR3U3JKWjJZQUJjYUtUNE1mdFJhMDdiNkhMXzJZMFlHTDAyYmk5dTBlUT09 |
The guestbook is filled with amusing cranks.
> This is my father's proof. I can guarantee that he wasn't from "La La Land".
> With regard to Wiles's proof: Has anybody seen it? If so, did you understand it? As far as I know, there are only a handful of people on the planet who SAY that they understand it **and they are all from Princeton.** Furthermore, Wiles had a flaw in his original proof and had to enlist the aid of several other mathematicians to help him. It was a collaborative effort, but Wiles got all the accolades.

The main difference, though, between a crank and an actual attempt isn't whether the writer has found a proof. It is whether the writer has the clarity of thought to know whether he has found a proof or not. This writer clearly has very little idea what a valid proof even looks like and what makes it valid. This means not only is this proof wrong, but in fact it's probably not worth reading further "mathematics" by this person, either.
When I was 12 years old, I got it on my head to find a technique for trisecting an angle using a compass and a straight-edge. I was a bit naive in stubbornly refusing to accept that it had been proven impossible... but at least at the end of the year I worked on it, I recognized that I had not solved the problem. This gives me some hope that I am, in fact, not a crank. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUeGdZMGxSbnZIY3dvcldadERrVGhIbWVQOTRmYV95Ullnc3JTa0FqNUpRWklLN0FxSDdJZ1NGc2ZmNEtBc2I1cEw1S3EyeGpvc0xHU2Q0eWd3bDdEaHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzblF6S3FCSmlCLTN4a0pncEl2c05Xa1g2Q0xUQlNqWHEzNmJBcGZYcm4zYmY3MVZNLTZhTlh6WW5HdXpyRjlWV2szT2FQTmpxRzc0MHM0a3FzQ0Y2RDVRU2JxdzEtOWZvQ3oyZWNNOWpkUVJCR3AxMjZJaVZfeEZqVWJMM21UWHc5ZDlxZHZQMW56STFQT1IxbmJidmRBTWZZVW9GQ19Eek5RMUluSXliWnJtQ0hBV2FCNFZOdEVtbUpTMlJPLTIxUkp0T3JGVkduZ05NaHJmc2hpYmJvdz09 |
When it comes to famous old problems like Fermat, anyone who says "I've solved old famous problem X" is probably a crank. Wiles, IIRC, presented his proof in a seminar and didn't mention Fermat until the end. An actual mathematician would approach such problems with a bit of reverence and an eye toward the scores of others who tried and failed. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVURGtldUd0VHdISmNOOTlrX0ExaU5QQ3lYQldKekF3NHRublFkRmIxVlJLQ0Qtd3lpOHdGdnZSejRQM0xBMkh2TGpoc19LajA3aDRtU2ZFVjl4VjBCcXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzNm9zd2xIVEctVTNHQnpMRi1iX0gwVk1NdlMzMkRGcXZOUlMxUC1BTGJPeVhWQ1htTDJ0UzZrTTVOMk01a2c5anBySklfOWNSdXk4TkYwcXB5RXphUU94VEFQR25fa19IQy1aeU1XdTdjNUVOaS1IZ2hFNVRHTkh6OUg2NGpKMU1LN2E2UlVOdWF5UGJpaGt3Y2p3UlJVRXRMenFNRkg2X0VfLTh1QkE4cWk3bm43aDVXSEltWnJiSzV4UG1BQy1fMHRJTTNIY1FIV1pFMmJRVDUxRlZsUT09 |
If you're interested about Wiles's proof, I'd suggest reading "Fermat's Last Theorem" by Simon Singh. It's an enjoyable read and vaguely glosses over some of the main points of the proof. (Like how the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture came into play.) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-04-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVUNVdtUWN1bFo5dmc4MHVrRi1HVXpLd3hEdkdDQ3F4MmlpM1VkX3BtWm5ubUxMdVZTNTRaaE4tdjdqTk5Od21QQjdNTFF5Y2dnMmRRRm1ZUlFqTWhhZlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzdWFOUFIxRlpaZWlENnRYaDhyY0tVNVZZM1RoSl9TbWloWWlzSnVXMnZhelFUVTVkZUx4VGJrOUN1aFNJUk1EUWFjNmd0S3UxaDBhcXhSNWU0T01KQkVUSzNicWxYXzljYzFfM3NoUjhSMV9fTFc2blpNU1BHbGpTV3l2YXBWd09sR1dKMkM5QmtWeUtmeW5kU2RvblRvTG9pb29lU0Z0QWNDdWNBMGg4Nk1VMEItWTBhOUJnSjZFWG9scnkyUV9rdmVyRlB1N2VZWUx0Vk9OZFl4bWxUUT09 |
