Methods of algebraic geometry provide the following parameterization of Fermat's cubic:
In projective space the Fermat cubic is given by
The 27 lines lying on the Fermat cubic are easy to describe explicitly: they are the 9 lines of the form (w: aw: y: by) where a and b are fixed numbers with cube −1, and their 18 conjugates under permutations of coordinates.
