20th Century Solution not "particularly good"?
I'm no mathematics expert, but I think that Doctor's 'real proof' refers to the fact that (as even Andrew Wiles himself has admitted) the 1995 solution to Fermat's Last Theorem is a 'modern' one - using mathematics (such as elliptic curves) that were not available in Fermat's time. Some Mathematicians are still looking for the 'original' proof that Fermat found.86.134.189.214 04:27, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
