Description for Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat´s Last Theorem
Hardback. .
Updated to reflect current research, Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem, Fourth Edition introduces fundamental ideas of algebraic numbers and explores one of the most intriguing stories in the history of mathematics-the quest for a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The authors use this celebrated theorem to motivate a general study of the theory of algebraic numbers from a relatively concrete point of view. Students will see how Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem opened many new areas for future work. New to the Fourth Edition ... Read more

Reviews for Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat´s Last Theorem
It is the discussion of [Fermat's Last Theorem], I think, that sets this book apart from others - there are a number of other texts that introduce algebraic number theory, but I don't know of any others that combine that material with the kind of detailed exposition of FLT that is found here...To summarize and conclude: this is an interesting ...
