I have to give a presentation on elliptic curves in general. It does not have to be very in depth. I have a very basic understanding of elliptic curves (The most I understand is the concept of ranks). I was wondering if anyone could explain to me simply what is the connection between the equation $x^n +y^n=z^n$ and elliptic curves.

    I may be wrong, but I do not think there is a simple explanation.2012-07-31
