Question
A result named for this mathematician states that for a prime number p, a to the power p is congruent to a modulo p; that is this mathematician's "little theorem." For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this mathematician whose "last theorem" was proved by Andrew Wiles.
ANSWER: Pierre de Fermat [or Fermat's little theorem; or Fermat's last theorem]
[10m] Fermat's little theorem is a special case of a theorem stated using this function. This function counts the number of integers smaller than n that are relatively prime to n.
ANSWER: Euler totient function
[10h] The Euler totient function is generalized by a totient function named for this mathemtician. A result named for this mathematician states that a closed curve separates the plane into two regions, yielding an "interior" and "exterior."
ANSWER: Camille Jordan [or Jordan totient function; or Jordan curve theorem]
