Fermats Last Theorem | Simon Singh
post image

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Texreader Is it just me or does the man on the cover look like a pudgy Tom Hanks? 4y
candority @Texreader Now I can't unsee it! 👀 4y
Reggie I actually watched a documentary on this guy. Didn‘t he get it wrong the first time after like 3 years of seclusion and then he spent a couple more years and got it right? And he got Time‘s man of the year. 4y

Supposed to be a very accessible, interesting #mathematics book, but I haven‘t read it...

An absolutely fascinating book about a professor who set out to prove Fermat's theorem. It's got an amazing story of the steps this man (Wiles) went through to achieve this proof.

Jamesmelvinmitchell @Trav this is it. 8y
Trav Great! I'm definitely checking this one out 👍🏻👍🏻 8y
