Title: Mathematics and its pristine beauty
Review: This is a remarkable and engripping account for the search of a proof to a seemingly naive problem that mystified mankind for more than 350 years. I encountered this problem for the first time when I was 15 in a local Math journal in New Delhi, but never paid too much attention to it. It was the early part of the year 1992 and Andrew Wiles' proof was not yet known. But today I dont feel bad unable to solve the problem because the list of people who failed to prove this problem is astonishingly illustrious. The book is an emotional rollercoaster beautifully woven in the fabric of the hardships, frustrations, romance and genius of some of the best brains to ever live on this earth. The character of Andrew Wiles is beautifully portrayed and one cannot but fall in love with this mathematician. All in all, this book is a classic and definitely a must read for everyone, even for a person with no background in Mathematics.
