Fermat's Last Theorem:
Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Mathematical
Problem
By Amir D. Aczel
The world has many worlds, with the priestly cult
of mathematicians, so mystifyingly and inaccessible
to most people, among the more esoterically
interesting of them. Aczel describes the intrigue
and double-dealing in the international world of
mathematical speculation, some of which involves
Andrew Wile's proof of Fermat's theorem.
