The extraordinary story of the solving of a puzzle that has confounded mathematicians since the 17th century. The solution of Fermat's Last Theorem is the most important mathematical development of the 20th century. In 1963 a schoolboy browsing in his local library stumbled across the world's greatest mathematical problem: Fermat's Last Theorem, a puzzle that every child can understand but which has baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. Aged just ten, Andrew Wiles dreamed that he would crack it. Wiles's lifelong obsession with a seemingly simple challenge set by a long-dead Frenchman is an emotional tale of sacrifice and extraordinary determination. In the end, Wiles was forced to work in secrecy and isolation for seven years, harnessing all the power of modern maths to achieve his childhood dream. Many before him had tried and failed, including a 18-century philanderer who was killed in a duel. An 18-century Frenchwoman made a major breakthrough in solving the riddle, but she had to attend maths lectures at the Ecole Polytechnique disguised as a man since women were forbidden entry to the school. A remarkable story of human endeavour and intellectual brilliance over three centuries, Fermat 's Last Theorem will fascinate both specialist and general readers.

一 古希臘的畢達哥拉斯發現瞭數學的奧妙,並聲稱天地萬物由數支配。這一切務必完美無缺。所以當他的學生西帕索斯認識到根號2變化無常,不能用老師的有理數模式來解釋時,畢達哥拉斯下令淹死瞭他。 數學在歐洲曆史上曾長期處於停滯狀態,這與學術聖殿亞曆山大圖書...
評分懷爾斯依靠20世紀誕生的數學猜想和一係列數學技巧證明瞭費馬大定理,這是現代數學的傑作。而幾個世紀之前的費馬顯然不會是這種證明方法。費馬當初寫下“我已經找到瞭一個真正美妙的證明”,這個證明也許有缺陷,也許是一個巧妙的證明。無論是什麼樣的,費馬一定是以17世紀的數...
評分這本書的好就勿需多言瞭,在講述費馬大定理被破解的過程中展現瞭幾韆年來人類知識的進步,並同時伴以類似偵探小說的寫法,讓我有看《達芬奇密碼》一樣欲罷不能的衝動。 這本書看著看著就有一種親切的感覺泛起來,看到瞭久違的勾股定理、想起瞭世界上還有虛數這樣一個東西存在.....
