Fermat's Last Theorem: Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Mathematical Problem
Autor Amir D. Azcel, Amir D. Aczelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2007
Simple,
elegant,
and
utterly
impossible
to
prove,
Fermat's
last
theorem
captured
the
imaginations
of
mathematicians
for
more
than
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,
Amir
D.
Aczel
reveals
the
previously
untold
story
of
the
people,
the
history,
and
the
cultures
that
lie
behind
this
scientific
triumph.
From
formulas
devised
from
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.
