Synopsis
Fermat's last theorem states that while the square of a whole number can be broken down into two other squares of whole numbers, the same cannot be done with cubes or any higher powers. After Fermat's death, in the seventeenth century, many mathematicians spent lifetimes trying to prove the theorem.In 1995, a British mathematician based at Princeton announced, in a paper that had taken eight years to write, that he had proved Fermat's last theorem. FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism to create a previously untold, real-life detective story of the intellect.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Written by 17th-century mathematician Pierre de Fermat, Fermat's theorem has long puzzled other mathematicians. It states that while a square of a whole number can be broken down into two other squares of whole numbers, the same cannot be done with cubes. In 1995, a British mathematician working at Princeton University claimed to have solved the question. This account examines the theorem from Greeks to modern science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004220538
