About this video

Barry Mazur in his ' Number theory as Gadfly ' describes Number Theory as a field which-
"produces, without effort, innumerable problems which have a sweet, innocent air about them, tempting flowers; and yet... number theory swarms with bugs, waiting to bite the tempted flower-lovers who, once bitten, are inspired to excesses of effort!"

Renowned Number Theorist Kevin Buzzard from Imperial College has on several occasions mentioned that he believes no human, alive or dead, knows all the details of the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem - a seemingly simple to state problem which remained unsolved for more than 350 years until it was settled by a combined efforts of many great Mathematicians of last few centuries.
