The Four Solutions to Fermat's Last Theorem is a 1977 booklet by Robert L Carroll, published by the Carroll Research Institute.

Overview

Carroll presents what he offers as elementary "solutions" to Fermat's Last Theorem — the famous conjecture (that xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ has no positive-integer solutions for n > 2) which Fermat claimed to have proved but for which no proof was then known. Such short, elementary claims of proof were common before the theorem's actual proof; the accepted proof, by Andrew Wiles, appeared only in 1994 and is highly advanced, so elementary "solutions" of this kind are not regarded as valid.
