Who solved FLT.
I've only skimmed it but Simon Singh's book on it seems reasonably accessible to non-experts
One interesting thing of FLT is Wiles is on record as saying it opened the door (I think. This is from memory) to Langlands Program, a series of mathematical connections
Harder problems of course exist, Riemann Hypothesis et al but FLT still took hundreds of years to solve
I read Singh's book a few years ago, I really enjoyed it and left with a basic understanding of the underlying math
You remember correctly. His result is a special case of Langlands.
Just to check, this video isn't NSFW is it?
This comment left me so bewildered that I wanted to create a hackernews account just to comment this.
It might be a nerd joke, with a video title like "I loved every minute of it, however hard it had been".
depends, I would say it is not safe for work as it makes you question what are you doing there :)
its phenomenology porn
YouTube generally doesn't allow that
