Mathematics has always been a passion for the farm, and yet he laid the foundations of many of its areas - analytic geometry, infinitesimal calculus, probability theory. Corresponded with Descartes on analytic geometry, first used its methods to three-dimensional space. The name of the two farms is the famous theorem of the theory of numbers: small Fermat's last theorem and the 'great' Fermat's last theorem, which works in the margins of Diophantus, he wrote: 'I found this truly wonderful proof, but these fields are too small for him'. According to this theorem, the equation for n> 2 has no positive integral roots. The proof of the theorem in general form was obtained only in 1994. Fermat died in Castres, near Toulouse, January 12, 1665.
