具体描述
Over three hundred years ago, a French scholar scribbled a simple theorem in the margin of a book. It would become the world's most baffling mathematical mystery.
Simple, elegant, and utterly impossible to prove, Fermat's Last Theorem captured the imaginations of amateur and professional mathematicians for over three centuries. For some it became a wonderful passion. For others it was an obsession that led to deceit, intrigue, or insanity. In a volume filled with the clues, red herrings, and suspense of a mystery novel, Dr. Amir Aczel reveals the previously untold story of the people, the history, and the cultures that lie behind this scientific triumph.
From formulas devised for the farmers of ancient Babylonia to the dramatic proof of Fermat's theorem in 1993, this extraordinary work takes us along on an exhilarating intellectual treasure hunt. Revealing the hidden mathematical order of the natural world in everything from stars to sunflowers, Fermat's Last Theorem brilliantly combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism. The result: a real-life detective story of the intellect, at once intriguing, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down

读后感
如果说这世上有一门最贴近自然的艺术、最具魅力的艺术，得不到大部分人的欣赏，缺少其应有的地位，那就是数学。 这样说来这世上大部分人是不幸的，因为他们的注意力、集中力差或是过度依赖形象思维，而导致他们无幸领略真正的美，这个说法一点不为过。
评分作者用数学家的生平故事为枯燥艰深的数学研究发展史做了很好的调味，让我们更轻松地走近数学世界。 费马大定理终于在几百年之后被证明了，人类真是了不起。
评分这是一本有趣的书。 未必像那些真正的数学书那么深刻，有着美丽而复杂的数学公式，但是的确写的很有趣。而且，这本书翻译的文笔也算是很好的了，比那些不知所云的计算机类图书要强好多。 记得以前跟某个人聊天的时候，我说起来我绝不写科普类型的著作。现在，我为我的这个说...
评分封底的文字内容为：“1955年，在一次科学会议上，一位普林斯顿数学家……达350年之久的著名数学猜想——费马大命题。这个证明一共写了200页，……”。读过全文后，从“普林斯顿”、“350年”、“200页”推断，我觉得，这个时间该是1993年，就是怀尔斯的那次证明。
