Fermat's Last Theorem

Who could have thought maths could be so much fun ! Told with infectious enthusiasm, this is the story of pure maths as well as the quest to solve one of its most challenging riddles of all time.

It is hard to say enough good things about it. There are very few mathematicians that are interested in making math accesible to the general public and even fewer that are able to make it interesting and light to read.

I'll make this short and sweet. First off the book is an insight into the world of pure mathematics, it uses the fulcrum of the Last Theorem (an apparently very simple rule) to touch upon a number of different issues within both the practice and history of the subject.
