Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 12mo (18.5 cm), XII, 147 pp. Printed wrappers. "Simple, elegant, and utterly impossible to prove, Fermat's Last Theorem captured the imaginations of amateur and professional mathematicians for over three centuries. For some it became a wonderful passion. For others it was an obsession that led to deceit, intrigue, or insanity. In a volume filled with the clues, red herrings, and suspense of a mystery novel, Dr. Amir Aczel reveals the previously untold story of the people, the history, and the cultures that lie behind this scientific triumph." (from the publisher's description).

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Written by 17th-century mathematician Pierre de Fermat, Fermat's theorem has long puzzled other mathematicians. It states that while a square of a whole number can be broken down into two other squares of whole numbers, the same cannot be done with cubes. In 1995, a British mathematician working at Princeton University claimed to have solved the question. This account examines the theorem from Greeks to modern science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over three hundred years ago, a French scholar scribbled a simple theorem in the margin of a book. It would become the world's most baffling mathematical mystery. Simple, elegant, and utterly impossible to prove, Fermat's Last Theorem captured the imaginations of amateur and professional mathematicians for over three centuries. For some it became a wonderful passion. For others it was an obsession that led to deceit, intrigue, or insanity. In a volume filled with the clues, red herrings, and suspense of a mystery novel, Dr. Amir Aczel reveals the previously untold story of the people, the history, and the cultures that lie behind this scientific triumph. From formulas devised for the farmers of ancient Babylonia to the dramatic proof of Fermat's theorem in 1993, this extraordinary work takes us along on an exhilarating intellectual treasure hunt. Revealing the hidden mathematical order of the natural world in everything from stars to sunflowers, Fermat's Last Theorem brilliantly combines philosophy and hard science with investigative journalism. The result: a real-life detective story of the intellect, at once intriguing, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. New York. Four Walls Eight Windows. 2000. Stated first printing ( full number line including 1 on the copyright page). Hard Cover. Crown 8vo 7½" x 5" [19cm x 12.7cm] approx. 235 pp. Sage green boards with gilt titles to the spine. Former owner sticker to the ffep which is neat. Frontispiece of Georg Cantor.

The colours are bright, fresh and unfaded, corners and spine ends are sharp. Book and jacket are fine. The Mystery of the Aleph tells the story of Georg Cantor (1845-1918), a Russian-born German who created set theory, the concept of infinite numbers, and the "continuum hypothesis," which challenged the very foundations of mathematics. His ideas brought expected denunciation from established corners - he was called a "corruptor of youth" not only for his work in mathematics, but for his larger attempts to meld spirituality and science.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Este libro presenta una historia singular que vincula a algunos de los protagonistas y a algunas de las ideas más trascendentes de la cultura occidental del siglo XX: Pablo Picasso, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Simone Weil, el estructuralismo y la matemática de conjuntos, todos unidos por una persona que no existió. Nicolas Bourbaki fue el nombre que un grupo de matemáticos usaron, primero para reescribir los libros de texto de su tiempo, luego para desarrollar a partir de la teoría de conjuntos- una serie de innovadoras propuestas teóricas que muy pronto tuvieron repercusiones importantes en los campos de la sociología, el arte y la filosofía.Los primeros textos matemáticos de Nicolas Bourbaki se publicaron en la década de 1930, y muchos otros le siguieron durante casi cincuenta años, y junto con el trabajo que este grupo realizó, pueden ser considerados como un producto o como una de las causas principales de una gran revolución que ocurrió en las primeras décadas del siglo pasado y que cambió completamente la cultura occidental. Las matemáticas puras, el área de trabajo de Bourbaki, parecieran alejadas del mundo real, sin embargo han sido muchas las ocasiones en que los hallazgos importantes en este campo repercuten rápidamente en otras áreas de la ciencia, en las artes o en la cultura popular.El lector tiene ante sí una historia que expone las bases del trabajo de Bourbaki sin exigir conocimientos matemáticos demasiado profundos; en gran parte es la historia de los miembros del original grupo, pero también es la historia de algunos de los episodios más importantes del siglo XX (la Guerra Civil Española, la Segunda Guerra Mundial) y la historia de algunas de las corrientes artísticas y filosóficas más relevantes de los últimos tiempos (el estructuralismo, el arte moderno).
