9781684221479: The Last Problem

Synopsis

2017 Reprint of 1961 Edition.  Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.   What Eric Temple Bell calls “The Last Problem” is the problem of proving 'Fermat's Last Theorem', which Fermat wrote in the margin of a book almost 350 years ago. The original text of The Last Problem traced the problem from 2000 BC to 17th century France. Along the way we learn quite a bit about history, and just as much about mathematics.  This book fits no categories. It is not a book of mathematics: it is a biography of a famous problem.  Pages go by without an equation appearing. It is both a history of number theory and its place in our civilization, and a history of our civilization's relationship with mathematics.  This rich and varied, wide-ranging book, written with force and vigor by someone with a distinctive style and point of view will provide hours of enjoyable reading for anyone interested in mathematics.
