Fermat's last theorem states that while the square of a whole number can be broken down into two other squares of whole numbers, the same cannot be done with cubes or any higher powers. After Fermat's death, in the seventeenth century, many mathematicians spent lifetimes trying to prove the theorem.In 1995, a British mathematician based at Princeton announced, in a paper that had taken eight years to write, that he had proved Fermat's last theorem. FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism to create a previously untold, real-life detective story of the intellect.
