	Surely arithmetics should be accepted for Fermat?

	Done. The majority of these come from half-forgotten classes, so if I've missed other applications or acceptable answers, please say. Also, I don't care if you give a low rating, but it's not very instructive if you don't tell me why. So please, speak up.

	I wouldn't accept arithmetics for Fermat's Last Theorem. Arithmetics generally refers to only the four basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). It doesn't include exponentiation.

	Maxwell's Equations -- I tried electromagnetism, electricity, magnetism, electricity and magnetism, e and m... should probably accept at least one of those alternatives.

	@osprey: Higher arithmetic and number theory are often used synonymously, and I added it as an acceptable answer. But I also added the shortened "arithmetic" -- by adding an "s" to the end of the word, eurythmech made me suspect he's British, and I don't yet know the conventions there.

	@andrewd: Sorry, I meant to include electromagnetism but obviously forgot to test it. Works now. I've also used most of your other suggestions. Thanks to both of you for your comments.

	shouldn't the Nash Equilibrium also accept decision theory?

	Calvin cycle question should also accept biochemistry...

	Fluid mechanics should be accepted for fluid dynamics and conversely electrodynamics should be correct for maxwell. Also the mohr's stress circles come from STATICS which is a field studied by engineers and geologists
