He attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620's. He was a excellent scholar, and amused himself by conjecturally restoring the work of Apollnius on plane loci. He got a degree in civil law , he was a professional. At Toulouse he became a councillor of parliament. His hobby was math, he was a mathematician.A lot of his work was being communicated in letters to friends containing results without evidence. He studied maximum and minimum values of functions in advance of the differential calculus. He is best known for his work in number theory. There was proof of many of his discoveries, they were first published by Leonard Euler a hundred years later. His last theorom was his most famous unsettled problem in mathematics: it states

Pierre de Fermat Dana Pellegrino, History of Mathematics Research Paper, Spring 2000 Pierre de Fermat was one of the most brilliant and productive mathematicians of his time, making many contributions to the differential and integral calculus, number theory, optics, and analytic geometry, as well as initiating the development of probability theory in correspondence with Pascal. In this paper, we shall examine some of Fermat's contributions to the world of mathematics, paying specific attention to his work in number theory and in optics. Pierre de Fermat was born on August 17, 1601 in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France, and died on January 12, 1665 in Castres. He was the son of a prosperous leather merchant, and became a lawyer and magistrate (Singh, page 35). While not much is known of this French mathematician's early life and education, it is known that Fermat attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620s. He was educated at home and began his first serious mathematical researches in Bordeaux. He was also in contact with Beaugrand, and it was at this time that Fermat produced important work on maxima and minima (World Book). He communicated this work to Etienne d'Espagnet, who shared his mathematical interests. From Bordeaux Fermat went to Orléans, where he studied law at the University. He received a degree in civil law and at the age of thirty was inducted as the "commissioner of requests." By 1631, Fermat was a lawyer and government official in Toulouse, and was promoted to a king's councillorship in the parliament of Toulouse in 1648. "Fermat's offices made him a member of that social class also and entitled him to add the de' to his name, which he did from 1631 on" (Mahoney, page 16). The office he now held entitled him to change his name from Pierre Fermat to Pierre de Fermat, as "de" is the mark of nobility in France.

PIERRE DE FERMAT Yogita Chellani Term Paper, History of Mathematics, Rutgers The French mathematician Pierre de Fermat(1601-1665) was possibly the most productive mathematician of his era, making many contributions, some of which were to calculus, number theory, and the law of refraction. We will survey those contributions here, paying particular attention to his work in number theory. While relatively little is known of Fermat's early education, it is known that he was of Basque origin and received his primary and secondary education at the monastery of Grandsl ve, run by the Cordeliers (Franciscans), in Beaumont-de-Lomagne. For his advanced studies he first attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620's. In Bordeaux (1629) Fermat began his first serious mathematical researches, where he gave a copy of his restoration of Appollonius's Plane Loci to one of the mathematicians there. In Bordeaux he contacted Beaugrand and during this time he produced work on maxima and minima. He gave his work to Etienne de'Espagnet, who shared mathematical interests with Fermat. "Fermat's offices made him a member of that social class also and entitled him to add the "de" to his name, which he did from 1631 on." (Mahoney, p.16)

33. Philosophers : Pierre De Fermat pierre Fermat's father was a wealthy leather merchant and second consul of Beaumont movedto Toulouse but there he gained a new mathematical friend in carcavi. http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/phil/philo/phils/fermat.html

Pierre de Fermat French Mathematician 8-17-1601 to 12-12-1665 Pierre Fermat's father was a wealthy leather merchant and second consul of Beaumont- de- Lomagne. He was probably educated in his early years at the local Franciscan monastery. He attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeau in the second half of the 1620s. In Bordeau he began his first serious mathematical researches and in 1629 he had completed his restoration of Apollonius's "Plane Loci." In Bordeau he was in contact with Beaugrand and produced important work on maxima and minima. From Bordeau Fermat went to Orléans where he studied law at the University. He received a degree in civil law and he purchased the offices of councillor at the parliament in Toulouse. Fermat's meteoric rise through the government is evidenced by his multiple appointments between 1631 and 1653. News of his death due to the plague of the 1650s was exaggerated: I informed you earlier of the death of Fermat. He is alive, and we no longer fear for his health, even though we had counted him among the dead a short time ago. The following report, made to Colbert the leading figure in France at the time, has a ring of truth:-

Fermat received a Bachelor of Civil Laws from the University of Law at Orleans in 1631. Fermat considered mathematics to be a hobby, never publishing his work. Most of his theories and formulations were recovered from his correspondence with Pierre de Carcavi and Father Mersenne. Upon his death his son Samuel oversaw the publications of Fermats work in Observations on Diophantus , and Mathematical Works Pierre de Fermat explored such mathematical areas as analytical geometry, pre-evolved Calculus, and infinite descent. However his work with Number Theory is what he is best known for. A few of his well known theorems include Every non-negative integer can be represented as the sum of four or fewer squares A prime of the form 4n + 1 can be represented as the sum of two squares The equation Nx + 1 = y has infinitely many integer solutions if N is not a square Fermat was in the habit of presenting his theorems as fact, letting others perform the task of presenting the proofs and verifications of his work. Perhaps his most infamous work is what is commonly known as Fermat's Last Theorem, named such as it was the last of his theorems to be proven. This theorem states that x n + y n = z n has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n > 2. To further add to the mystery, Fermat's last words on this were found in the margin of a popular mathematics book, simply stating that he had found a "remarkable proof" but that the margin was too small in which to explain. In 1995, over 300 years later, this theorem was finally proven by the British mathematician, Andrew Wiles.

Pierre de Fermat Fæddur: 17. ágúst 1601 í Beaumont-de-Lomagne í Frakklandi Dáinn: 12. janúar 1665 í Castres í Frakklandi Æviágrip: Fermat var sonur efnaðs leðurkaupmanns og fékk fyrstu menntun sína í heimahúsum. Hann átti einn bróður og tvær systur. Á 3. tug 17. aldar flutti Fermat til Bordeaux, en hafði áður stundað nám við háskólann í Toulouse. Hann hóf fyrstu alvarlegu rannsóknir sínar í stærðfræði í Bordeaux sem leiddu m.a. til athyglisverðra niðurstaðna varðandi útgildi falla. Frá Bordeaux flutti Fermat til Orléans og stundaði þar nám í lögfræði við háskólann. Hann lauk embættisprófi í lögfræði og gerðist lögmaður og opinber embættismaður við þingið í Toulouse. Hann bjó í Toulouse upp frá því, en starfaði jafnframt í heimabæ sínum, Beaumont-de-Lomagne og nágrannabænum Castres. Hann hlaut mikinn embættisframa og árið 1652 fékk hann skipun í æðsta embætti við glæpadómstól þingsins. Árin 1643 - 1654 var Fermat ekki í sambandi við stærðfræðisamfélagið í París, aðallega vegna annarrar vinnu en einnig vegna stríðsátaka í Frakklandi á þessum árum og afleiðinga þeirra í Toulouse. En á þessu tímabili vann Fermat þó að talnafræði, og er hann einmitt best þekktur vegna verka sinna innan þess sviðs stærðfræðinnar. Frægastur er hann að sjálfsögðu fyrir svokallaða Síðustu kenningu Fermats, en hún segir, að jafnan x n + y n = z n hafi enga heiltölulausn frábrugðna núlli fyrir x, y og z ef heila talan n er stærri en 2. Fermat ritaði í spássíu á þýðingu Bachet's á Arithmetica eftir Diophantus, að hann hefði fundið dásamlega sönnun á reglunni, en að spássían dygði ekki fyrir hana. Þessi athugasemd varð fyrst kunn þegar sonur Fermats, Samúel, prentaði útgáfu Bachet's með athugasemdum föður hans árið 1670. Í dag er talið að "sönnun" Fermats hafi ekki verið rétt. En kenning hans var hins vegar sönnuð endanlega í nóvember árið 1994 af breska stærðfræðingnum Andrew Wiles. Misheppnaðar tilraunir til sönnunar kenningarinnar yfir 300 ára tímabil leiddu m.a. til uppgötvunar víxlinnar baugakenningar auk margvíslegra annarra stærðfræðilegra uppgötvana.

Comment Joyce Lam Nga Ching BLAISE PASCAL (1623-1662) Blaise Pascal Blaise Pascal is known as one of the co-founders of present day probability theory. He is known by many titles such as geometer, philosopher, mathematician, probabilist, physicist, and inventor. At the age of 14 Blaise Pascal started to accompany his father to Mersenne's meetings. Mersenne belonged to the religious order of the Minims, and his cell in Paris was a frequent meeting place for Gassendi, Roberval, Carcavi, Auzout, Mydorge, Mylon, Desargues and others. Soon, certainly by the time he was 15, Blaise came to admire the work of Desargues. At the age of sixteen, Pascal presented a single piece of paper to one of Mersenne's meetings in June 1639. It contained a number of projective geometry theorems, including Pascal's mystic hexagon.

scientific revolution S W C B W B ut personal bickering and doctrinal disputes soon disrupted the meetings. In December 1658 a legendary clash occurred between Montmor and Roberval, ostensibly over a doctrine of Descartes. The dispute stymied activity for eight months. If the problem was a tendency to speechify, the solution was to emphasize experiment. After the summer of 1659, meetings resumed more or less weekly until June 1664, when Huygens pronounced the academy had 'ended forever' ( Huygens to Moray, 12 June 1664 D A lthough little is known of specific discussion topics, a general picture has emerged. As we have seen, there was concern to avoid the 'vain exercise of the mind on useless subtleties; rather, one should always propose the clearest knowledge of the works of God and the advancement of the conveniences of life, in the arts and sciences that best serve to establish them.' Contemporary correspondence shows that discourses were read and discussed, and that the tenor of meetings was often shrill.

Specific discussion topics include Chapelain's announcement of Huygens' discoveries (pendulum clock; Saturn's moon Titan; Saturn's Rings), and formal exchanges on such topics as the science of motion, rarefaction and condensation, and the limits of natural knowledge and sources of error.
