Synopsis

This book investigates the major mathematical problems mathematicians faced over centuries. From the attempts by the ancient Greeks to determine whether the side and the diagonal of squares can be correlated, to Fermat's conjecture on number theory and the Riemann hypothesis involving prime numbers, this book pores over centuries of mathematical riddles. Exploring the original sources and showing the evolution of mathematical ideas, the author creates a fascinating tapestry of the history of mathematics. The book is a compelling narrative that explores the solving of these math problems and how they have shaped the development of mathematics.
