Another theorem named for this man states that a rational right triangle cannot have an area that is the square of a rational number.
The converse of a theorem named for this man is Lehmer's theorem. Another theorem named for this man states that a rational right triangle cannot have an area that is the square of a rational number. Gauss proved the triangular case of this man's polygonal number theorem. 3, 5, 17, 257, and 65537 are the first five of his namesake numbers, which take the form one plus two raised to the quantity two raised to the n. A theorem named for this man centers on whether a certain Diophantine equation has any non-zero solutions for n greater than two. For 10 points, name this French mathematician whose namesake last theorem was proved by Andrew Wiles.
