Brief, elementary proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (i.e. which could have been discovered by Fermat) discovered. Fermat's Last Theorem states that there do not exist positive integers n > 2, a, b, and c such that a**n + b**n = c**n
Any proposed proof must withstand academic scrutiny. A short note published in a relevant peer-reviewed mathematics journal that is not shown to be flawed within 6 months of publication would satisfy the claim. A proposed proof can be found at
