Google has changed Wednesday its picture on the search page to pay tribute to Pierre de Fermat, born 410 years ago, considered the “father” of differential calculus and number theory.
Google’s new logo is a blackboard on which, the famous Theorem of Fermat is written in chalk. “I have discovered a truly wonderful proof for this theorem, which this doodle is too small to contain” reads the description of the new logo.
The great Fermat Theorem was asserted by him in 1637, and full demonstration was carried out only 357 years later by the English mathematician Andrew Wiles. The theorem states that there are no three positive integer numbers, x, y, z, greater than 2, to satisfy the equation written on the blackboard.
Pierre de Fermat was born on August 17, 1601 in Montauban, France, and was a lawyer, public servant and French mathematician known for his vast contributions in various fields of mathematics, the precursor of calculus, analytic geometry and probability calculus.
Fermat is assigned, to a lesser extent, the modern calculus, in particular for his contribution on tangents and stationary points. Fermat is considered by some authors the “father” of differential calculus and number theory. He had contributions in analytic geometry and probability.
