[edit] ALGEBRAIC NUMBER THEORY AND FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM
One of the latest mathematical discoveries was the proof, by Andrew Wiles, of Fermat's last theorum, a 300-year old conjecture that had eluded professional mathematicians as well as serious amateurs. This revised edition covers newer developments and unsolved problems.
One of the most exciting and widely publicized recent mathematical discoveries was the proof, by Andrew Wiles, of Fermat's Last Theorem, a 300-year-old conjecture that had eluded professional mathematicians as well as serious amateurs. The problem is part of the theory of algebraic numbers and its solution draws on an incredible range of modern mathematics. This new, completely revised edition of a classic text introduces all elements necessary for understanding The Proof as well as new developments and unsolved problems. Written by two distinguished mathematicians, Ian Stewart, a popular writer with over 60 books including From Here to Infinity, Nature's Numbers, and Does God Play Dice?, and David Tall, an internationally recognized expert on cognitive development in mathematics, this book weaves together the historical development of the subject with a presentation of mathematical techniques. The result is a solid introduction to one of the most active research areas of mathematics for serious math buffs and a textbook accessible to undergraduates.
