  Pons (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pons is an lunar crater that is located to the west of the prominent Rupes Altai scarp.
It lies to the southeast of Sacrobosco crater, and southwest of the Polybius crater.
To the northwest along the same flank of the formation is the Fermat crater.

 Sacrobosco (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sacrobosco is an irregular lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged southern highlands to the west of the Rupes Altai escarpment.
The rim of Sacrobosco is heavily worn and eroded, especially in the northeast.
To the east-northeast is Fermat crater, and to the south-southwest lies Pontanus crater.

 Fermat biography
Fermat met Carcavi in a professional capacity since both were councillors in Toulouse but they both shared a love of mathematics and Fermat told Carcavi about his mathematical discoveries.
For example, although he wrote to Fermat praising his work on determining the tangent to a cycloid (which is indeed correct), Descartes wrote to Mersenne claiming that it was incorrect and saying that Fermat was inadequate as a mathematician and a thinker.
The truth of Fermat's assertion was proved in June 1993 by the British mathematician Andrew Wiles, but Wiles withdrew the claim to have a proof when problems emerged later in 1993.

Pierre de Fermat (August 17, 1601 – January 12, 1665) was a French lawyer at the Parlement of Toulouse, southern France, and a mathematician who is given credit for the development of modern calculus.
Fermat worked on number theory while preparing an edition of Diophantus, and the notes and comments thereon contained the numerous theorems of considerable elegance necessary to develop the theory of numbers.
Fermat is famous for his "Enigma" that was an extension of Pythagorean Theorem, also known as Fermat's last theorem, which baffled mathematicians for more than 300 years, and was only finally proven in 1994.

 ROBINSON LUNAR OBSERVATORY
Fermat, a crater to the east of Sacrobosco, also contained a pie-shaped wedge of light that illuminated half the crater’s floor.
The crater was out of the terminator, and the remainder of the crater and surrounding area was sunlit.
Pretty steep slopes supporting many craters with Sacrobosco G & F to the north, Sacrobosco L to the southwest, and the double crater Sacrobosco H to the east.

Simon hears about the bacteria thought by its discoverers to be useless, but which turned out to be essential in making the shell propellant cordite during WW1; and meets a marine geologist who was looking for underwater salt deposits and instead found a huge meteorite crater.
The biggest meteor impact of all, the one which killed the dinosaurs, left its in Mexico’s Yucutan Peninsula.
That crater too, was found as a result of serendipity, when NASA scientists were talking to a journalist, who suddenly realised that the weird buried volcano he’d heard about at oil exploration conference a decade earlier might be more significant...

 Lunar features
About 300 mathematicians have lunar features (mostly craters) named after them.
You can see an account of how these features were named and whom they were called after.
Be warned that the list of lunar crater names is large (about 600K).

Today's crater lies on what would have been shallow sea 4,000 years ago, and any impact would have caused devastating fires and flooding.
The crater also appears to be, in geological terms, very recent.
said that craters recently found in Argentina date from around the same period - suggesting that the Earth may have been hit by a shower of large meteors at about the same time.

But Gallois was born nearly two hundred years after Fermat.
However, reading another demonstration, one can see the tool Fermat was using which he called "descente infinie" (continued fraction).
Now, how was he using it, that is the the question, Fermat was not mathematician by profession.

 CRATER TIMING PREDICTIONS FOR THE 1999 JULY 28 PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
The data below was produced by a suite of Microsoft QuickBasic programs running on my • Macintosh IIci computer.
It includes a large number of lunar features (500) for immersion, where the crater is first eclipsed by the earth's shadow or umbra, followed by a list of 500 crater emersions where the center of the feature re-appears from within the umbra.
The lunar latitude and longitude are given for each feature along with the crater X, Y coordinates in terms of the moon's radius R. Accurate timing of these events provides useful data to determine the geometry of the umbra and hence the shape of the earth's upper atmosphere during this eclipse.

 Catharina
The Rupes Altai, in this section illuminated by light coming from the east, commences near the crater Tacitus and cross the region to the south and south-east.
A bright, wide ray from the crater Tycho (Section 64) runs across the craters Polybius A and B. The large crater Catharina forms a conspicuous trio with Cyrillus and Theophilus (Section 46).
