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.

評分'...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.'
評分不像科普,近乎傳記。
評分因為個人對費馬大定理沒有什麼深刻聯係,也和數學學科沒有緊密關係,這本書看上去更像是看一部簡史,雖然認識瞭不少數學傢,但沒有瞭解到更多做學問的激情和動力。還是作者的那本密碼學的書看得津津有味,畢竟可以自己練習玩,這本書的推薦閱讀裏大概還有遊戲類書籍,但書中沒有。
評分有趣!
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...
評分那天,当当的送货员将我订的一堆书送来,老公问一本叫《费马大定理》的书是什么,我说是一本数学书时,他和儿子一起嘲笑我:就你?看数学书? 就算人家的数学学得非常糟糕,当年考大学都不曾考及格,也不应该打击人家一大把年纪还上进的积极性不是?何况,这的确是一本非常棒...

評分怀尔斯依靠20世纪诞生的数学猜想和一系列数学技巧证明了费马大定理,这是现代数学的杰作。而几个世纪之前的费马显然不会是这种证明方法。费马当初写下“我已经找到了一个真正美妙的证明”,这个证明也许有缺陷,也许是一个巧妙的证明。无论是什么样的,费马一定是以17世纪的数...
評分一 古希腊的毕达哥拉斯发现了数学的奥妙,并声称天地万物由数支配。这一切务必完美无缺。所以当他的学生西帕索斯认识到根号2变化无常,不能用老师的有理数模式来解释时,毕达哥拉斯下令淹死了他。 数学在欧洲历史上曾长期处于停滞状态,这与学术圣殿亚历山大图书...
