This document is page 242 from a book titled 'Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?', included in a House Oversight document production (Bates stamp 015932). The text discusses the history of Fermat's Last Theorem, its solution by Andrew Wiles in 1995, and the philosophical differences between mathematical proof and computer 'brute force' calculations. It contrasts the rigorous standards of mathematicians with the empirical methods of engineers and physicists.
