Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem

xn + yn = zn, where n represents 3, 4, 5,...no solution"I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."With these words, the seventeenth-century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat threw down the gauntlet to future generations.

What came to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem looked simple; proving it, however, became the Holy Grail of mathematics, baffling its finest minds for more than 350 years.
