Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Lectures on Fermat's Last Theorem In March 1920, I gave at Birkbeck College, London, a course of three public lectures on Fermat's Last Theorem. The lectures were intended primarily for persons with a mathematical training, but not necessarily for those who bad made a special study of the Theory of Numbers. A general account was given of the various methods that have been devised for dealing with the question, more attention being paid to principles than to details. This booklet consists of the lectures in practically the form in which they were delivered. It also includes a few details which it was found convenient to omit from the lectures. I hope it may be of assistance in giving to the reader come idea, not only of the difficulties involved, but also of the progress made in dealing with this famous theorem. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness not only to the authors mentioned herein, but also to the works of Smith, Bachmann, Hilbert, Kronecker, Sommer, and Dickson, on the Theory of Numbers. Full references to the subject are given by Dickson in his very useful paper on "Fermat's Last Theorem" in the Annals of Mathematics, Vol. xviii. 1917 ;and in Vol. n.of his History of the Theory of Numbers,- which has just been published.

Download or read book Modular Forms and Fermat s Last Theorem written by Gary Cornell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of expanded versions of lectures given at an instructional conference on number theory and arithmetic geometry held at Boston University. The purpose of the conference, and indeed this book, is to introduce and explain the many ideas and techniques used by Wiles in his proof, and to explain how his result can be combined with Ribet's theorem and ideas of Frey and Serre to show, at long last, that Fermat's Last Theorem is true. The book begins with an overview of the complete proof, theory of elliptic curves, modular functions, modular curves, Galois cohomology, and finite group schemes. In recognition of the historical significance of Fermat's Last Theorem, the volume concludes by reflecting on the history of the problem, while placing Wiles' theorem into a more general Diophantine context suggesting future applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneering work of Pierre de Fermat has attracted the attention of mathematicians for over 350 years. This book provides an overview of the many properties of Fermat numbers and demonstrates their applications in areas such as number theory, probability theory, geometry, and signal processing. It is an ideal introduction to the basic mathematical ideas and algebraic methods connected with the Fermat numbers.
Download or read book Fermat s Last Theorem for Amateurs written by Paulo Ribenboim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-21 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, Andrew Wiles completed a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Although this was certainly a great mathematical feat, one shouldn't dismiss earlier attempts made by mathematicians and clever amateurs to solve the problem. In this book, aimed at amateurs curious about the history of the subject, the author restricts his attention exclusively to elementary methods that have produced rich results.
Download or read book The Higher Arithmetic written by H. Davenport and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of numbers is generally considered to be the 'purest' branch of pure mathematics and demands exactness of thought and exposition from its devotees. It is also one of the most highly active and engaging areas of mathematics. Now into its eighth edition The Higher Arithmetic introduces the concepts and theorems of number theory in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers but also touches upon matters of deep mathematical significance. Since earlier editions, additional material written by J. H. Davenport has been added, on topics such as Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, computers and number theory, and primality testing. Written to be accessible to the general reader, with only high school mathematics as prerequisite, this classic book is also ideal for undergraduate courses on number theory, and covers all the necessary material clearly and succinctly.
