Jun 18, 2013 at 0:12 comment added Yemon Choi I just reverted Halfdan Faber's change of the title. I think anyone looking for the conjecture with only Beal's name attached to it will not be confused by finding the extra names. Whereas omitting those names is tacitly taking Beal's side of the story, and I am not sure we should do that.

Rollback to Revision 8 - reverted edit which takes Beal's side

Dec 6, 2010 at 2:50 comment added Halfdan Faber Richard Guy's book [Unsolved Problems in Number Theory][1], pages 113-116, gives a very good account of the history of the conjecture. [1]: books.google.com/…

Oct 3, 2010 at 6:44 comment added Halfdan Faber Well, the question was just answered and accepted. Perhaps the threat of imminent closure was the needed catalyst...

Jun 19, 2010 at 18:13 comment added Halfdan Faber In this interesting overview paper, thehcmr.org/issue1_1/elkies.pdf, the conjecture is referred to as the Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture. There is no explicit reference, though.

Jun 19, 2010 at 17:42 comment added Steve Huntsman I think you should edit this. Right now the only actual question in your post is about a controversial subject.
Jun 19, 2010 at 17:32 comment added Adrian Barquero-Sanchez I guess that you should look at the following article ams.org/notices/199711/beal.pdf It mentions some related conjectures made prior to Beal.
