In the book "Fermat's Last Theorem" by Simon Singh, it is one of the largest and most important puzzles in the history of Mathematics. is of course meant the above last sentence of Fermat, which states that there exists for the equation a + b n = c n no integer solution with n> 2 there. (The special feature of this set is that it is so easily understandable, yet over 300 years could not be proven.) Simon Singh tells in the book not only all the way to the proof of the proposition, but rather tells he entire history of the theory of numbers by the Pythagoreans to the present.
What makes this book for me for one thing, that one is already infected by the first pages of the enthusiasm for mathematics and the other of the most interesting narrative. Because one has to study at any time feel a dull, dusty book on the mathematics, but it seems like it would swallow up an exciting thriller.
I think this is a unique combination of non-fiction and crime.
