Fermat's Enigma

This book tells the story of the search for a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, first conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637.

It recounts the lives and efforts of numerous mathematicians who attempted to solve the theorem over the centuries, including the eventual proof by Andrew Wiles in 1995.

The book is based on Singh's award-winning documentary film and provides a compelling and accessible account of the mathematical and human aspects of this historic problem.
