Abstract
Finding the point in an algebraic variety that is closest to a given point is an optimization problem with many applications. We study the case when the variety is a Fermat hypersurface. Our formula for its Euclidean distance degree is a piecewise polynomial whose pieces are defined by subtle congruence conditions.
