Fermat's Last Theorem

This book by Simon Singh tells the story of Fermat's Last Theorem, first conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637.

It recounts the centuries-long effort by numerous mathematicians, including famous figures like Euler, Sophie Germain, and Évariste Galois, who attempted but failed to prove the theorem.

The book culminates with the story of Andrew Wiles, who finally proved the theorem in 1995 by linking it to the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture.

Singh's narrative weaves together historical, mathematical, and personal stories, making the book accessible to a broad audience while highlighting the passion and dedication of mathematicians throughout history.
