Fermat's Lament: A Mathematician's Guide to Not Being Amused

Dear fellow mathletes, I'm afraid we're all just going through the motions here.

We've been trying to prove Fermat's Last Theorem for centuries, but let's be real, it's just a distraction from the real question: are we really sure that 4 is a prime number?

As a mathematician, you're probably thinking, "But what about the L-notation?" Ah, yes, yes, yes, we'll get to that later.

For now, let's just agree that numbers are hard and we're all just winging it.

Further clarification on the nature of prime numbers can be found on our sister site: Prime Numbers Are a Joke.
