14.6 Triple Integrals Seventeenth-Century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat wrote in the margin of his copy of Arithmetica by Diophantus, near the section on the Pythagorean Theorem (a squared plus b squared equals c squared), "x ^ n + y ^ n = z ^ n - it cannot be solved with non-zero integers x, y, z for any exponent n greater than 2. I have found a truly marvelous proof, which this margin is too small to contain." This was left as an enigmatic riddle after Fermat's death and it became a famous, unsolved problem of number theory for over 350 years. Andrew Hanson has made some pictures, and I have in turn made sculpture, of a system analogous to Fermat's last theorem - a superquadric surface parameterized complex four-space. Taken from:
