单词 fermat
释义

Fermatn.

Brit. /ˈfəːmɑː/, /fəˈmat/, /ˈfəːmat/, U.S. /fərˈmɑ/, /fərˈmɑt/
Etymology: < the name of Pierre de Fermat (1601–65), French mathematician.
Used attributively or in the possessive to designate certain results and concepts introduced by Fermat, as Fermat's last theorem, a famous theorem that went unproved until 1994 (Fermat having claimed that he had a ‘truly wonderful proof’ without ever disclosing it), viz. that if n is an integer greater than 2, xn + yn = zn has no positive integral solutions; Fermat's law = Fermat's principle; Fermat('s) number, a number of the form 22n + 1, where n is a positive integer; Fermat's principle, the principle that the path taken by a ray of light between any two points is such that the integral along it of the refractive index of the medium has a stationary value; Fermat's theorem, (a) that if p is a prime number and a an integer not divisible by p, then ap−1 − 1 is divisible by p; (b) = Fermat's last theorem at main sense.
