"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.

讀後感
以前我就是个不太喜欢数学的人，确切的说是讨厌那些很烦琐的计算。这本书我看的是PDF格式的，其实早就下载好了的，只是没去看，那天拿来一看，看得入谜，一口气看完已是凌晨，但那种满足感却也无法说出。感叹于数学的神奇，感叹于数学家们的天才和他们那坚韧的意志。
評分 評分怀尔斯依靠20世纪诞生的数学猜想和一系列数学技巧证明了费马大定理，这是现代数学的杰作。而几个世纪之前的费马显然不会是这种证明方法。费马当初写下“我已经找到了一个真正美妙的证明”，这个证明也许有缺陷，也许是一个巧妙的证明。无论是什么样的，费马一定是以17世纪的数...
評分 評分有些书讲别人的梦，但让你想起自己的梦。 有些书和童年无关，但让你回想起童年。 回想起童年，嘴角会有微笑，仿佛小孩从口袋里突然翻出几块已经忘记的糖果来。然而也会怅惘，好像看到从书页里掉下的一纸泛黄的情书和一瓣干枯的玫瑰。 童年已随小鸟去，此地...
