Title: Who Knew Math Was This Exciting?
Review: "Fermat's Enigma" is a fun and interesting look at a world most of us are only vaugely aware of. Beginning in Ancient Greece, Singh takes us on a quick journey through mathmatical history, with brief stops at the French Revolution, Post-WWII Japan, and more. The book culminates with the story of Andrew Wiles's brilliant and troubled breakthrough. Very little math knowledge is needed to enjoy this book; in fact, there wasn't ENOUGH math to satisfy me. If you want details, this isn't for you. But if you want the basics, and the wacky story behind them, "Fermat's Enigma" is perfect.
