Amir D. Aczel, author of ‘Fermat’s Last Theorem’, has died
- TheCondor 11y agoI love his books. If you have any interest in math or its history, you will be rewarded by picking up one of his books.
- nmc 11y agoFor those feeling confused: this is not the only book called Fermat's Last Theorem. • Harold Edwards, Fermat's Last Theorem, 1977 • Simon Singh, Fermat's Last Theorem, 1997 (There may be others.)
- Aqueous 11y ago"x(n) + y(n) could never equal z(n) if “n” was greater than 2" Wasn't it x^n + y^n != z^n for n greater than 2?

- jonbaer 11y agoRIP. He wrote Entanglement, one of the best books on the subject and highly recommend. Entanglement tells the astounding story of the scientists who set out to complete Einstein's work. With accesible language and a highly entertaining tone, Amir Aczel shows us a world where the improbable—from unbreakable codes to teleportation—becomes possible.
