This book is a biography of a famous problem, the problem of proving 'Fermat's Last Theorem'. The original edition traced the problem from 2000 BC to 17th century France. Along the way we learn quite a bit about history, and just as much about mathematics. Underwood Dudley's notes bring us up-to-date on recent attempts to solve the problem, including its recent proof.
