From the advertising blurb:
``An exciting introduction to number theory as reflected
by the history of
Fermat's Last Theorem. This book displays the unique
talents of author Alfred J van der Poorten in mathematical exposition for
mathematicians. Here, mathematics' most famous problem and the ideas
underlying its recent solution are presented in a way that appeals to the
imagination and leads the reader through related areas of mathematics. The
first book to focus on
Fermat's Last Theorem since
Andrew Wiles presented
his celebrated proof, ``Notes on Fermat's Last Theorem'' surveys 350 years of
mathematical history in an amusing collection of tidbits, anecdotes,
footnotes, exercises, limericks, references, illustrations, and more.''
