Greetings earthlings!

Just watched "Fermat's last Theorem", the patience i had to have when the youtube viedeos buffered(5min max), was absolutely worth it.
I recommend this Video for everyone, no matter if you like math or not. For those of you who consider themselves as "math-idiots": Give math a chance! Nobody need to understand the whole math-thingy to be fascinated by it (Statement is true for it = Math, it= the Docu and it= Fermat's l. T.).
For the String-theorists of you: Its math-porn! make sure to be allone when watching it!

Yes, that's true. I first watched this documentary several years ago at school, when our maths teacher brought the video into class. And I still can remember how moved that guy was - several years self-locked up in his small chamber to solve one of the most famous, but on first sight simple looking riddles in mathematics until, finally, he finds the way it works!

It's quite motivating to see people keeping working on their idea until they will make it true. Good motivation for your next maths class

nice interview with a german mathematician about unsolved problems in his science. fermat gets a mention too (in german, at spiegel online).

jo, danke.

Muss zurzeit bis zu 20h Überstunden machen pro Woche und bin abends leider imemr ziemlich platt. Ab nächsten Dienstag gehts aber wieder los :D
