About This Item
The Folio Society, 2011 8vo (24 cm), front., XIX, 239 pp, 4 plates. Publisher's cloth backed boards, slip-case (bookplate tipped in front pastdown, collector's blind stamp on title). The beautifully printed Folio edition of this bestselling book chronicles the captivating tale of the search for a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, originally conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637. The attempts to prove this theorem are intricately intertwined with the rich history of mathematics, delving into all major themes of number theory. Despite the tireless efforts of numerous mathematicians over centuries, the elusive proof remained incomplete until 1995 when English mathematician Andrew Wiles unveiled his groundbreaking solution, marking a monumental achievement in the field.
