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.

评分有趣!
评分Extraordinary
这本书我非常推荐。写的非常浅显易懂,即便是文科生看懂整个逻辑也是没有任何问题(好像不小心黑了谁),配合BBC同名纪录片效果更佳呦。正经来说,这本书的最大价值在于,从一个非常好的侧面反应了解决一个数学(科学)问题所需要的付出有时是惊人的,也许要费尽一整代人的努力...
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.....
评分只是图书馆中的偶遇。只是想起一位矢志学数学的好友似乎提到过看过这本书。 于是,一个之前连费马是何许人也都不清楚的人经历了一场值得珍藏一生的奇妙的数学时空之旅。 翻开这本书,就不想再合上去了,她的引人入胜与武侠小说相比是有过之而无不及,她的悬疑惊险一波三折更是...
评分Part.I 1958年,在一本名为《与魔王的交易》的书中收录了这样一个故事:魔王请一个家伙提出一个问题,如果魔王在24小时内回答出来了魔王就会带走这个人的灵魂,如果没有魔王就支付给这个人10万美元。 这个人问道:费马大定理是不是正确的? 魔王离开了,并在迅速吸收了世界上一...
评分虽然是理科生,但是我数学一直不太好,最多是勉强做做题,考考试的水平,而且不管在理论和应用方面学起来都比较慢。在我心里我一直觉得,数学既不是文科也不是理科,我心里的文科,是读、识、背、写、论。理科呢,是看、思、懂、解、用。数学在我心里高贵冷艳,又不像...
