Fermat&apos;s Last Theorem: A Proof by Contradiction :  An up-dated, too-good-to-be-true potential proof of Fermat&apos;s Last Theorem worth examining closely, which will take some effort.

In this paper I offer an algebraic proof by contradiction of Fermat’s Last Theorem. This contradiction shows that the rewrite has no non-trivial positive integer solutions and proves Fermat’s Last Theorem.
