Abstract: Abstract The equation of Fermat has undoubtedly had a far greater influence on the development of mathematics than anyone could have imagined. After 1847 most serious mathematical approaches to the problem followed the line introduced by Kummer. This approach involved a detailed analysis of the ideal class groups of cyclotomic fields.
