Used Book in Good Condition
Azcel wrote a good book on Fermat's Last Theorem and Wiles' solution. Amazon
Simon Singh's book on the same subject is also good, but Amazon has it at $10.17 whereas Azcel's is $0.71 better at $10.88.
Either way you get an enjoyable read of one man's dedication to solve a notoriously tricky problem and just enough of the mathematical landscape to get a sense of what was involved.
Another fun & light holiday read is Polya's 'How To Solve it' - read the glowing reviews over at Amazon
