Re: An (Elementary) Alternate Proof to Fermat's Last Theorem?
perhaps i misunderstand all of it...but...look at statement 2:
(1+x) exp(a) (i don't know how to get exponents on here,
that's (1+x) to the power a....)
which he equates to a sum (which i cannot read...not useful...what is n here?)
he states that the sum diverges if x>1 and a is not an integer. but if x=3, and a=1/2,
(1+x)exp(a) = (1+3)exp(1/2) = the square root of 4 = 2, and we shouldn't have any convergence problems.
[ his use of the binomial theorem is perhaps a little careless -
(1 + x) exp(n) = Sum (for i=0 to n) C(n,i) x exp(i)
this is fine when n is a positive integer and C(n,i) = n!/i!(n-i)!,
but for non-integral n, life becomes more difficult, although not impossible. ]
the proof may still be fine, but i stopped....
