Ribenboim’s presentation of attempts to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem sheds new light on the possibilities and power of the language of mathematicsThis book is intended for amateurs. All results presented were obtained with exclusively elementary methods; proofs are given in detail with minimal prerequisitesOriginal features are the ten interludes, devoted to important topics of elementary number theory, thus making this book self-containedThe Epilogue is a serious attempt to render accessible the strategy of Wiles recent proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, a great mathematical feat
