Mathematic is known as the basic of knowledge; it holds many portions in many aspects. Of course, it is so wide that we are unable to explore all of the aspect in mathematics. Thus, it creates what so called mathematical mystery. We have known many "mathematical mysteries" like Poincaré's Conjecture, Kepler's Conjecture, Infinite Monkey Theorem, and any other theorem. Some of them were successfully solved, and the others still remain unsolved.
One of the well known mysteries is Fermat's Last Theorem. Pierre de Fermat, live 1601-1665 as a mathematician, state that:
xn + yn = zn
Has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n > 2. Fermat wrote this in one of his paper as a marginal note: I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain. Many famous mathematicians try to solve this mystery from time to time, including Euler, Sophie Germaine, Gauss, and any other mathematicians. Although many works and methods were conducted, a very small doubt for Fermat's Last Theorem will remain for some time since no complex proof to guarantee this theorem. Until now on, Fermat's Last Theorem still become a mystery.
