Title: Fermat's Enigma : the Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem Simon Singh is a science journalist and TV producer. Having completed his PhD at Cambridge he worked from 1991 to 1997 at the BBC producing Tomorrow's World and co-directing the BAFTA award-winning documentary Fermat's Last Theorem for the Horizon series. He is the author of Fermat's Last Theorem, which was a no 1 bestseller in Britain and translated into 22 languages. In 1999, he wrote The Code Book which was also an international bestseller and the basis for the Channel 4 series The Science of Secrecy. Customer review of the book: "You don’t have to be a mathematician or computer scientist to understand this amazing story of Fermat’s theorem that went unproven for over 300 years. Before Fermat, many mathematicians considered the theorem and many after tried to solve it. This book offers a history of the theorem: who contributed and how it was finally solved. If you enjoy history and discovery with a touch of math and tech, you’ll love this book. This is a gem for any collector of modern discoveries that impact our knowledge and growth as a culture in this time."
