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.

评分"Es war so unbeschreiblich schön; so einfach und elegant." 那无与伦比的美;如此纯粹并且充满灵性。
评分有趣!
皮埃尔•德•费马无疑是数学史中最令人着迷的家伙之一。他出生在十七世纪法国一个商人家庭,仕途一帆风顺,以至于有资格使用“DE”这个具有贵族姓氏的前缀。费马是个富二代,但他所有的业余时间都用在数学上了。才华横溢的他被《业余大数学家的数学》一书的作者排除在外,...
评分 评分这本书的好就勿需多言了,在讲述费马大定理被破解的过程中展现了几千年来人类知识的进步,并同时伴以类似侦探小说的写法,让我有看《达芬奇密码》一样欲罢不能的冲动。 这本书看着看着就有一种亲切的感觉泛起来,看到了久违的勾股定理、想起了世界上还有虚数这样一个东西存在.....
评分从来没有想过毕业之后会读这么一本关于数学的科普读物。 书把晦涩难懂的数学问题写得引人入胜,一周内就看完了,后半本甚至是一天看完的。一点不枯燥,非常有趣。而且在看费马大定理最后怎么被证明那段时,我甚至感到浑身热血沸腾,晚上睡觉满脑子还都是椭圆方程和模形式。 整...
评分“昂恩發表過一篇論文,探討弗馬特沒有寫在迪奧方托書頁變白上的一條定理”——這是譯者王永年對博爾赫斯小說《死於自己迷宮的阿本哈坎-艾爾-波哈里》中某一句話的翻譯。我是最近才想起句中的“弗馬特”應該指“費馬(Fermat)”,“迪奧方托”應該指“丟番圖(Diophantu)”,...
