Fermat's Last Theorem. By Simon Singh. Icelandic translation by Kristín Hálla Jónsdóttir, with an introduction by Sigurður Helgason.
The story of a mathematical law, from the time the mathematician Fermat (1601–1665) wrote in the margin of a book that he had a wonderful proof of the theorem but that the margin did not accommodate it. The story is intertwined with love and fate, but also the magnificent journey of the human spirit through the adventurous world of mathematics. Singh traces the adventurous history of the theorem and the mathematicians' struggle with it with mathematical ingenuity. A bestseller – praised at the same time for being a gripping thriller and good scholarship. (Book Review 2006).
