Fermat's Last Theorem

So, up to know, I've shown that Van Roomen's monster equation: (see here ): (45)x - (3,795)x 3 + (95,634)x 5 - (1,138,500)x 7 + (...

The third step in solving Van Roomen's problem is realizing its relation to trigonometry. Using F n (x) defined in my last blog (see ...

In my previous blog , I showed how Van Roomen's problem could be reduced to a summation formula: (45)x - (3,795)x 3 + (95,634)x 5 - (1...

In the last blog, I presented Van Roomen's Problem : (45)x - (3,795)x 3 + (95,634)x 5 - (1,138,500)x 7 + (7,811,375)x 9 - (34,512,07...
