«Le Dernier Théorème de Fermat» is Simon Singh's popular mathematics essay, published by J.-C. Lattès in paperback (334 pages, in French).
It recounts the story of Fermat's Last Theorem, the mathematical enigma that for 358 years resisted the efforts of the greatest minds, from Euler and Sophie Germain to Taniyama. It also tells how Andrew Wiles, after seven years of secret work, managed to prove it in 1993 before an astonished scientific community.
Original title: 'Fermat's Last Theorem' (1997). Simon Singh holds a PhD in nuclear physics. Finalist for the Royal Society Science Book Prize and winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award in 1998.
