Pierre de Fermat was born #OTD in 1601.

He is recognized for his discovery of an original method of finding the greatest and the smallest ordinates of curved lines, which is analogous to that of differential calculus, then unknown, and his research into number theory.

He is best known for his Fermat's principle for light propagation and his Fermat's Last Theorem in number theory, which he described in a note at the margin of a copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica.

Why don't you publish *well formatted* PDFs or Postscripts of books. While ePub and others are great for reading on e-ink device, pdfs are great for printing them on paper.

Instead of cutting down trees to generate paper, the best option is to preserve nature. Don't you agree?
