In this course, we will investigate
Fermat's Last Theorem in the special case of $$n = 3$$. First, we will give a (relatively) elementary proof, based on factorization in number fields. Later, we will develop the basic theory of elliptic curves to study the more general problem of finding rational points on elliptic curves, which may be applied to prove Fermat's Last Theorem in the case $$n = 3$$.
