minus-squareKlear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·9 hours agoIt’s a reference to Fermat’s Last Theorem. Tl;dr is that a legendary mathematician wrote in a margin of a book that he’s got a proof of a particular proposition, but that the proof is too long to fit into said margin. That was around the year 1637. A proof was finally found in 1994.
