Answer:
This is Problem II.8 in the 1621 edition of the Arithmetica of Diophantus, where Fermat casually wrote his last theorem, a^n + b^n = c^n, does not work for any n>2 and died. Mathematicians all over the world tried to prove this for 100s of years, until the dude in 2, Andrew John Wiles, provided a general proof.
Fermat claimed the margin was too small to fit his proof, but Wiles’ proof spanned over a 100 pages.

Fermat’s last theorem and the ‘prover’ Andrew Wiles

Andrew Wiles, prover of Fermat’s Last Theorem and collector of associated monetary prize.

From WP: Around 1637, Fermat wrote his Last Theorem in the margin of his copy of the Arithmetica next to Diophantus’ sum-of-squares problem.
Andrew Wiles proved it.

Page from Diophantus’ Arithmetica on the margins of which Fermat wrote down his famous last theorem. He also claimed that he had a truly marvelous proof that the margin was too narrow to contain. After more than 350 years, Andrew Wiles finally proved the theorem using much more sophisticated ideas than were available in Fermat’s time.

June 2nd, 2010 at 7:24 pm, GMT +0000 ( 1275506660 )
The person on the right looks like Andrew Wiles. If so, then the page must be the one on the margins of which Fermat intended to scribble his solution to his “last” theorem.

fermat’s last theorm was proved by Sir andrew wiles, a british mathematician in 1995!!

Pic 1 the page is Problem II.8 in the Arithmetica , which became Fermat’s Last Theorem. First conjectured in 1637 by Fermat, it was not proven until 1995.
The person in pic 2 is Sir ANDREW John WILES, who successfully proved “Fermat’s Last theorem”

See this happens when you are out to conserve papers … Because of this gazillions of mathematicians wasted bazillions of papers apparently trying to find a proof for Problem II.8 in the 1621 edition of the Arithmetica of Diophantus…. Which we famously know as Fermat’s Last Theorem …. Until one Sir Andrew John Wiles , the emaciated guy on the right finally found the proof to this wretched problem
June 2nd, 2010 at 11:23 pm, GMT +0000 ( 1275521033 )
1. Diophantus’ Arithmetica.
That’s the page on which Fermat wrote that he had a proof for the theorem and would have written it had the margin been larger.
2. Andrew Wiles provided the proof for Fermat’s last theorem.
