next steps. The final elements were put in place in the 1970s with the work of another young mathematician, this time a Russian — Yuri Matiyasevich. Robinson wrote to him when she heard of his proof, “To think all I had to do was to wait for you to be born and grow up so I could fill in the missing piece.”

could be used as an oracle, capable of answering almost any question imaginable. I could, for example, write a program that says: for every index in Fermat’s puzzle try every number and halt if you find a solution greater than 2. Now if I run my halt program on this program and it states ‘will crash; I w

ery number and halt if you find a solution greater than 2. Now if I run my halt program on this program and it states ‘will crash; I will have solved Fermat’s Last Theorem! Do you see why? If we give ‘Halt’ an input: a program we are interested in, along with some data, it will tell us if the program fin
