Day 26 in Mat310

Today: Fermat's Last Theorem

• Exam next Tuesday!
  • Sections: (seven sections of which included problems)
    • 6.1
    • 7.1-3, 7.5
    • 10.1-2
    • 11.1-2

  • Potential Theorem targets:
    • Euler's theorem (Theorem 7.5, part I): induction argument, top of page 137 (what I called the "lemma").
    • Euler's theorem (Theorem 7.5, part II): second paragraph, "Let gcd(a,n)=1 and ...." (this assumes that one has already established the "lemma").
    • Theorem 10.1 (I'll only ask for the proof in one direction, if I choose this one)
    • Theorem 11.1 (I'll only ask for the proof in one direction, if I choose this one)

• Return homework 10.2 (problems 1, 4)

• Collect homework 11.1 (will be graded by tomorrow)

• Fermat's Last Theorem
  • section 11.2 summary
  • Problem, p. 247: #4(a,c), and homework tips....
