A Tale of Two Theorems

A Tale of Two Theorems Samskrith Raghav I wrote this poem after reading the book FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM by Simon Singh ; It's a fine book, and it reads like a suspense thriller. I highly recommend you read the book! We begin our tale with Fermat, a Frenchman You can say he was half a mathematician One day he was working and then he was thinking Of a statement which would send the world sinking: “The square of a plus the square of b Always will equal the whole square of c But by try to cube it or do anything larger You’ll leave without ever getting any smarter.” He said he had proof, just like all the others: All of this claim’s big sisters and brothers But he had an excuse when people came chargin’ “Such a marvelous proof wouldn’t fit in the margin.” So the math-hunt began, to find this new proof To affirm of a conviction or find a disproof But no one found proof for a word that he said So Fermat would find himself undefeated For centuries men worked, and women too All the p

The semiconductor industry, like the rest of the computing world, was born from the mind of Alan Turing; however, the industry's path from government project to societal necessity was not readily apparent. Since the first computers depended on unreliable, inefficient vacuum tubes, they remained feasible only for the government or large government-funded labs. However, this all changed when scientists at Bell Labs invented the transistor at the end of 1947; now, the fundamental technology of computing was high

The Hollow Horses

What remains of the wild horses?
