Fermat's Last Theorem

by George Robert Talbott

Fermat's Last Theorem has baffled mathematicians since the 17th century and until now, no one has been able to recreate a proof of Fermat's work. This has been considered to be one of the "unconquerable heights" of mathematics. Dr. Talbott, author of the critically acclaimed "Philosophy and Unified Science," has provided the long-missing "proof" by recreating the mathematical techniques of Fermat's time. His proof has been evaluated by competent mathematicians and has stood up to the most intense scrutiny. Here it is, set forth in meticulous detail and clarity.

This was a "doctor who" inspiration. I am not a mathematical enthusiast, but this turned out to be really interesting. The proof of Fermat's last theorem marks the end of a mathematical era- even though it took me quite a while to understand several points of the book, I am pleased I stuck to it.
Footnote: there are several audiobooks available which explain the equations quite extensively- really helped!

The rating is a little on the high side, I guess this book would be much more interesting for people who don't really have an idea how mathematics above high school level feel like ;)
