<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 807, member: 57463&quot;]I actually read TWO books about it.&nbsp; The one I vought was FERMAT&#039;S LAST THEOREM by Amir D. Aczel and I had so many problems with his treatment that the book is filled my ink.&nbsp; It was pretty clear to me, as a writer, that as a writer he was in over his head. Discussing Pythagoras, he talks about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, most of which were built after the lifetime of Pythagoras.&nbsp; He says, &quot;The Fibonacci series appears everywhere in Nature.&quot;&nbsp; Well, you know, it does not appear EVERYWHERE...&nbsp; He refers to &quot;our normal three-dimensional world&quot; leaving me to wonder which one his lacks.&nbsp; And so on and on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The better one, I borrowed from the library&#039;s FERMAT&#039;S ENIGMA by Simon Singh.&nbsp; This was a tie in to a BBS television show that Singh wrote for.&nbsp; The material is presented much better with no technical flaws in the basic stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the whole thing was way over my head, as well.&nbsp; I was happy to understand the words.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What I got out of it all was the story of the proof, its demise, and ultimate success.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
