Abstract
THE remarkable thing about Diophantine analysis is that, although it is quite respectably old, it is still in that stage where the amateur is on an equal footing with the professional. If it be true, as we are inclined to think, that Fermat's last theorem admits of a Diophantine proof, this is as likely to be discovered by a schoolboy as by a professor steeped in all the lore of modern analysis.
