More for the mathematical drama queens of nothing else. or for the delightful thought that we have no system of mathematics or thought that actually fits the world appropriately, and the two major geometries are diametrically opposed to some extent. Or something. But you should never read books if you want to believe what you learn in school. Reading this book is the perfect use of 1.13 hours of time. Just don't believe anything this woman says, because the book has been thoroughly discredited. But delightful as an imaginative work of fiction. One should always be suspicious of writers whose only credentials are having the highest measured IQ in the world, whatever that might indicate, and depend excessively on being credentialed.

June 23, 1993. A Princeton mathematician announces that he has unlocked, after thousands of unsuccessful attempts by others, the greatest mathematical riddle in the world. Dr. Wiles demonstrates to a group of stunned mathematicians that he has provided the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (the equation x" + y" = z", wheren is an integer greater than 2, has no solution in positive numbers), a problem that has confounded scholars for over 350 years. Here in this brilliant new book, Marilyn vos Savant, the person with the highest recorded IQ in the world explains the mathematical underpinnings of Wiles's solution, discusses the history of Fermat's Last Theorem and other great math problems, and provides colorful stories of the great thinkers and amateurs who attempted to solve Fermat's puzzle.
