Lines: 27 Summary: [] About the end of 1984, someone did announce a proof of the Fermat conjecture (a/k/a Fermat's Last Theorem). The proof was to be delivered at the annual meeting of the American Math Society, but because the speaker was ill this did not happen. There were things about the announcement that made some mathematicians feel it was unlikely to be valid. Since nobody has seen the proof, the question remains unsettled. Rumors of a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis have been circulating, especially in noisy environments like Usenet. But I have seen no notice in such places as _Scientific_American, _The_Mathematical_Intelligencer_, or _The_Notices_of_the_American_Mathematical_Society_. I really think somebody must have confused the two conjectures. Regards, Chris -- Full-Name: Christopher J.
