		"Fermat's Last Theorem".  Preliminary Report

    The missing proof of Fermat's Last Theorem has been rediscovered.
The proof is elementary, zigzag, and truly wonderful as claimed by Fermat
nearly three and a half centuries ago.  The relation
 p    p    p
x  + y  = z for any prime p > 2 is called Case I if none of the solution
integers x, y, z is divisible by p and Case II if one of the integers is
divisible by p.  In this article, unlike the classical work, we show
first the nonexistence of Case II and the the impossibility of Case I.

Algebraic Number Theory," or L. J. Mordell, "Three Lectures on
Fermat's Last Theorem," and "13 Lectures on Fermat's Last Theorem" by

It's to be presented as part of the AMS annual meeting 9-13 Jan 85.
