"I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."
With these words, the seventeenth-century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat threw down the gauntlet to future generations.What came to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem looked simple; proving it, however, became the Holy Grail of mathematics, baffling its finest minds for more than 350 years.In Fermat's Enigma --based on the author's award-winning documentary film, which aired on PBS's "Nova"--Simon Singh tells the astonishingly entertaining story of the pursuit of that grail, and the lives that were devoted to, sacrificed for, and saved by it.Here is a mesmerizing tale of heartbreak and mastery that will forever change your feelings about mathematics.
Simon Lehna Singh, MBE is a British author who has specialised in writing about mathematical and scientific topics in an accessible manner. He is the maiden winner of the Lilavati Award.
His written works include Fermat's Last Theorem (in the United States titled Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem), The Code Book (about cryptography and its history), Big Bang (about the Big Bang theory and the origins of the universe) and Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial (about complementary and alternative medicine).
He has also produced documentaries and works for television to accompany his books, is a trustee of NESTA, the National Museum of Science and Industry and co-founded the Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme.
極好的故事,太精彩瞭
評分前半部是數學簡史,後半部是數學傢的執著

http://towerjoo.github.io/blog/2014/05/10/fermat-last-theorem/ 作为一个理工狗,对于数学的基础意义还是深有体会的,于是也就不会承认自己不喜欢数学,似乎一个明显的 例子是:哥也经常读数学的著作(虽不是专著),例如刚刚读完的《费马大定理》,还有书架上蒙灰的《数学...
評分有一款被称为人类精神世界贪嗔痴最高境界的游戏名叫:数论。这款游戏的开发商是:上帝。这款游戏的付费方式:免费(但对智商有一定要求,因为智商低的刚进游戏就被秒了)。迷上这款游戏的玩家,不仅不会被送到青少年网游戒毒所,反而被世界人民奉为神明。每打掉一个怪,人们都...
評分Part.I 1958年,在一本名为《与魔王的交易》的书中收录了这样一个故事:魔王请一个家伙提出一个问题,如果魔王在24小时内回答出来了魔王就会带走这个人的灵魂,如果没有魔王就支付给这个人10万美元。 这个人问道:费马大定理是不是正确的? 魔王离开了,并在迅速吸收了世界上一...
評分读罢此书,深深地被作者组织材料的能力所折服。费马大定理向上追溯有2000年的历史传统,问世的300年来,数学中的不同领域被发现、被结合用于解决这一难题。如果说费马大定理是一串项链,怀尔斯的证明就犹如一根金线,将数学不同领域的明珠串联起来。在攻克费马大定理的路上,闪...
