In 1995, Andrew Wiles completed a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Although this was certainly a great mathematical feat, one
shouldn't dismiss earlier attempts made by mathematicians and
clever amateurs to solve the problem. In this book, aimed at
amateurs curious about the history of the subject, the author
restricts his attention exclusively to elementary methods that have
produced rich results.
