- kens 11y agoIs there any reason why this proof from 1947 is on the front page? Is this proof particularly gratifying of intellectual curiosity or is this just a random feedback loop?
- Someone 11y agoIt is the "paper of the week" on http://fermatslibrary.com http://fermatslibrary.com, so quite a few people will have seen it for the first time recently. Being on that site typically means that the proof is short and reasonably accessible for amateurs (you won't see "A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors" style proofs that aren't hard, but require one to grasp terminology that few master there)
- jessriedel 11y agoTangentially, I found this notable for the reasonably high-equality, in-browser PDF commenting.
