Fermat's Last Theorem

[type-r]

A very interesting and touching documentary by Horizon a few years back on how Andrew Wiles solved one of mathematics last great unsolved puzzles - that is, x^n + y^n != z^n, where n > 2.

Simon Singh wrote an excellent book about it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fermats-Last-Theorem-Simon...

My brain checked out of maths after O-level but I could still understand the book - which shows how good it is!

Simon Singh is appearing at Wycombe Skeptics in the Pub on 19 Nov. Should be good.
