  Pierre de Fermat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fermat was only interested in integer solutions to his diophantine equations and he looked for all solutions of the equation.
Together with René Descartes, Fermat was one of the two leading mathematicians of the first half of the 17th century.
Fermat was born at Beaumont-de-Lomagne, 58 kilometers (36 miles) north-west of Toulouse, France.

My favourite film by along way is Groundhog Day, this is a wonderful film where he goes from one extreme to the other and is hilarious, especially as he starts thinking of ways to kill himself.
The second film is another from one of my comedy heroes who first few films were hilarious and low budget and then he went into a bit of spiral and hopefully will come back on form.
My 3rd film is another I can watch endlessly, all I can say What have the Pythons ever done for us?

A great guide to an amazing number, June 20, 2004
Livio's book is really an interesting look at a number similar to pi in that's an irrational number which displays itself in various places in nature, from the arrangement of petals on a flower to the logarithmic spirals of galaxies.
Livio explains the original formulation of this number by Euclid and proceeds to address the various times in history in which it may have been employed by architects, artists and musicians.
