The Fermat Proof

The proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, as a milestone in the evolution of the intellect of mankind and, in particular, of the pursuit of pure thought, is of such magnitude and importance that an exposition of the proof accessible to the layman is in order.

This book will provide to anyone, who is willing to expend some effort, at least a glimpse of the basic ideas and components of the proof and of some of the people who were responsible for it.

This book would be of interest to students, who want to determine if they have the aptitude to pursue mathematics or who want to get a concise overview of an important area of modern mathematics and of some of the concepts and techniques that are involved in it.

It would also be of interest to the professional mathematician, who wants to get a concise, but accurate overview of the entire proof.
