Description

Explore the historical and mathematical journey of one of the most famous problems in history. This Springer publication provides a genetic introduction to algebraic number theory by using Fermat's Last Theorem as a guiding framework. Instead of presenting abstract theories in isolation, this book follows the actual development of the problem, starting from the initial work of Fermat and moving through to Kummer's theory of ideal factorization. Readers will find a structured approach where new concepts and techniques are introduced only after they are motivated by specific mathematical problems. This method ensures that the learning process is grounded in practical application. The text covers elementary topics, such as Euler's proof regarding the impossibility of x^n + y^n = z^n, using accessible methods before moving into more advanced territory. By the end of the text, you will understand how the theorem is proved for all prime exponents less than 37, making it an essential resource for students and mathematicians interested in the evolution of number theory.
