摘要
It is known that one cannot write an integer cube as a sum of two integer cubes (Fermat's Last Theorem). The number 1728 (= 12(3)) comes close to being the sum of two cubes, but falls short by 1. An entry in Srinivasa Ramanujan's Lost Notebook gives a remarkable identity which provides infinitely many such examples. This article discusses a proof of this identity, as also another similar identity.
