If I am trying to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem, we will ask it to try every possible index for the equation 3*+4*=5* and halt when it finds a true result greater than 2. If the halt program says y

He describes the process wonderfully in a number of talks which you can find on YouTube. He finds a lot of his creativity em

When Andrew Wiles discovered his solution to Fermat’s Last Theorem, he did something a computer cannot do and demonstrated non-computational thought. But there is an alternative explanation put forward by the determi
