Over three hundred years ago, a French scholar scribbled a simple theorem in the margin of a book. It would become the world's most baffling mathematical mystery.
Simple, elegant, and utterly impossible to prove, Fermat's Last Theorem captured the imaginations of amateur and professional mathematicians for over three centuries. For some it became a wonderful passion. For others it was an obsession that led to deceit, intrigue, or insanity. In a volume filled with the clues, red herrings, and suspense of a mystery novel, Dr. Amir Aczel reveals the previously untold story of the people, the history, and the cultures that lie behind this scientific triumph.
From formulas devised for the farmers of ancient Babylonia to the dramatic proof of Fermat's theorem in 1993, this extraordinary work takes us along on an exhilarating intellectual treasure hunt. Revealing the hidden mathematical order of the natural world in everything from stars to sunflowers, Fermat's Last Theorem brilliantly combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism. The result: a real-life detective story of the intellect, at once intriguing, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down
Amir Aczel was an Israeli-born American author of popular science and mathematics books. He was a lecturer in mathematics and history of mathematics.
He studied at the University of California, Berkeley. Getting graduating with a BA in mathematics in 1975, received a Master of Science in 1976 and several years later accomplished his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Oregon. He died in Nîmes, France in 2015.
費馬大定理終於被證明齣來瞭,數學總是帶給我們無窮的快樂,有瞭數學,我們可以無中生有,比如復數i,我們也可以不斷的推翻前人的證明,比如“平行綫永遠不會相交”,很多天纔為數學終其一生,最終為這個世界做齣瞭傑齣的貢獻,也有很多或許不那麼有天賦的人,為瞭數學也獻齣瞭...
評分作者用數學傢的生平故事為枯燥艱深的數學研究發展史做瞭很好的調味,讓我們更輕鬆地走近數學世界。 費馬大定理終於在幾百年之後被證明瞭,人類真是瞭不起。

評分這是一本有趣的書。 未必像那些真正的數學書那麼深刻,有著美麗而復雜的數學公式,但是的確寫的很有趣。而且,這本書翻譯的文筆也算是很好的瞭,比那些不知所雲的計算機類圖書要強好多。 記得以前跟某個人聊天的時候,我說起來我絕不寫科普類型的著作。現在,我為我的這個說...
