Maths of the day (and an undisclosed length of time longer) No.1

As most people will know I have exams coming up and so blogging is not at the forefront of my mind

I have decided to take a leaf out of Benji's book (sorry about the colour of the link for some reason i can't change the background)

The first piece of maths has to be Fermat's Last theorem:

It is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into two fourth powers, or in general, any power higher than the second, into two like powers. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.

For those of you doing Latin:

Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos eiusdem nominis fas est dividere cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.
