What is the fermat last theorem?

That there are no whole number solutions to the equation:

xn + yn = zn

when n > 2.

If n = 2 this is:

x2 + y2 = z2

is known as Pythagoras' Theorem, and has many whole number solutions, eg 32 + 42 = 52, 52 + 122 = 132.

What did Nicolas Copernicus invent?

Nicolas Copernicus came up with the Copernican Model of the Solar System. It described the Earth orbiting the Sun, displacing the Ptolemaic model, which placed the Earth at the centre of the universe, and formed the basis of what we know of the solar system to this very day. This is called a Heliocentric model of the universe, from Helios (the greek god of the sun, often used to show the sun himself), and Centric, (meaning around, where we get our word centre from).

Was Nicolas Copernicus a white mathematician?

yes he thought that earth and other plantes revolved around the sun not the other way around

How did Archimedes invent algebra?

Ancient babylonians developed the ROOTS of Algebra long before 820AS as someone incorrectly claimed. Earliest references I saw were around Archimedes time (2,500 years ago).

Archimedes figured out what to do with algebra and gave calculus its first big push. He also gave geometry a big push, and his work in three dimensions.. Quite possibly the smartest man who ever lived..

Watch a documentary on the Archimedes palimpsest - very enlightening. HE's WELL worth studying, unlike plagiarists who came later.
