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.

以前我就是個不太喜歡數學的人,確切的說是討厭那些很煩瑣的計算。這本書我看的是PDF格式的,其實早就下載好瞭的,隻是沒去看,那天拿來一看,看得入謎,一口氣看完已是淩晨,但那種滿足感卻也無法說齣。感嘆於數學的神奇,感嘆於數學傢們的天纔和他們那堅韌的意誌。
評分皮埃爾•德•費馬無疑是數學史中最令人著迷的傢夥之一。他齣生在十七世紀法國一個商人傢庭,仕途一帆風順,以至於有資格使用“DE”這個具有貴族姓氏的前綴。費馬是個富二代,但他所有的業餘時間都用在數學上瞭。纔華橫溢的他被《業餘大數學傢的數學》一書的作者排除在外,...
評分一 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...

評分讀罷此書,深深地被作者組織材料的能力所摺服。費馬大定理嚮上追溯有2000年的曆史傳統,問世的300年來,數學中的不同領域被發現、被結閤用於解決這一難題。如果說費馬大定理是一串項鏈,懷爾斯的證明就猶如一根金綫,將數學不同領域的明珠串聯起來。在攻剋費馬大定理的路上,閃...

'...But I feel his noble generosity in this respect even more strongly now than when he was alive. And yet nobody was able to give him any support when he desperately needed it. Reflecting on this, I am overwhelmed by the bitterest grief.'
評分"Es war so unbeschreiblich schön; so einfach und elegant." 那無與倫比的美;如此純粹並且充滿靈性。
評分很棒! Simon Singh是很好的科普讀物作傢,馬不停蹄的找他的另外書。
評分寫的太好瞭,fall in love with maths & logic
評分當作科普小毒物看看還是蠻有趣的...
