    Translated by 薛密 ...
    Series series OPEN 精選
    語言文字會消亡,而數學概念卻不會證明是數學的核心數學不僅是計算,更是一場場思考與邏輯的遊戲破解費瑪提出的數學難題經過三個世紀的挑戰,終於得到證明  《費馬最後定理》之所以經典,不在於它教會了你多少數學,而在於它讓你相信——數學是一場人類精神與想像力的史詩級探險。  故事開始於你我都熟知的一段數學術語──畢達哥拉斯定理:「在一個直角三角形中斜邊的平方等於另外兩邊的平方之和。」亦即,a2+b2=c2。十七世紀時,有「業餘數學家王子」之稱,以數學為業餘興趣的律師皮埃爾‧德‧費瑪(Pierre de Fermat)在研究《算數》(Arithmetica)這本書時,在書的空白處不經意地寫下「an+bn=cn,當n>2 時無正整數解」,並且用拉丁文留下一句話「我有這個命題有絕妙的證明,但這裡空間太小我寫不下」。短短一條公式,加上這一句話,讓後世的數學家們花了足足三百年,想破腦袋,想要破解這個命題 ...
