ARE YOU A MATHEMATICIAN?
Then Solve This Problem and Win
Prize Of S25,000.


The largest single prize offered for
a scientific discovery Is still going
begging. The prize has been open TO
competition for many years. AT first
sight the problem for solution OF
which the prize is offered looks no
more difficult than those with which
high school students are familiar. but
many OF the greatest mathematicians
In the world have tried to solve the
problem and given 1t up in despair.
1t is known as Fermats problem.
Nearly 300 years ago Fermat one
OF the greatest mathematician who
ever lived. stated that the equation
lynn could not be satisfied by
whole numbers when n Is an odd prime
number different from unity. The prob
lem may be stated in another way-vh.
that xn1Eyn==zD cannot be satisfied
when n is any integer greater than 2
The one follows as logical conclusion
from the other.
The Academy of Sciences OF Goettin-
gen, Germany. offers a prize OF 100000
marks tabout So. 000) for proof of this
assertion. This is the prize that Is
going begging.
DR.. Joseph Bowden. professor OF
mathematics. Adelph college, Brook
iyn, asked by the Scientific American
10 state the precise conditions for win
ming the prize. writes that the Acad'
envy of Sciences will not consider any
manuscripts sent in. but only proposed
solutions printed and offered for sale
as monographs, In books on mathe-
mates or In mathematical periodicals.
The award will not be made until two
years after the publication Of the men,
OR IN order that mathemaucians may
have ample opportunity to test and
criticise the solution.
The object of these restrictions Is to
save the academy from being flooded
with undigested manuscripts. 1t will
only consider solutions that have stood
the test OF some competent editor or
publisher In the first place.
