Arithmetica
Book • 1900
Diophantus' Arithmetica is an ancient Greek text that explores algebraic equations, particularly Diophantine equations, focusing on rational or integer solutions.
It's considered a foundational work in number theory, influencing mathematicians for centuries.
The book's problems and methods significantly impacted the development of algebra and number theory.
Its influence is evident in Fermat's Last Theorem, which originated from a note in the margins of a copy of Arithmetica.
The book's enduring legacy lies in its contribution to the fundamental understanding of numbers and equations.
