     In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world"s greatest
mathematical problem: Fermat"s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre

Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries,
Fermat"s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.
