Intriguing review (Chinese) of FLT by a non-mathematician. He aims to convey the beauty of Mathematics to students, who unfortunately treat Math as a tool to pass exams from PSLE, O and A level, university math course, then ditch Math upon graduation. Math is the beauty of the universe.
费马大定理 Fermat’s Last Theorem (FLT): 17世纪业余数学家法国大法官费马开的一个”玩笑”, 推动350年来现代数学突飞猛进。
FLT 数学长征英雄人物:
1. Fermat (费马 1601@ Toulouse, France)
2. Galois (伽罗瓦): Group Theory (群论)
3. Gauss (高斯)
4. Cauchy (柯西) Lamé (拉梅) Kummer (库马)
5. Solphie Germain
6. Euler (欧拉)
7. Taniyama (谷山丰), Shimura (志村五郎)
集大成:
8. Andrew Wiles (怀尔斯) (证明@1993 -1995)
1.Elliptic Curve (椭圆曲线)
2. Modular Form (模形式)
3. Fermat Last Theorem (费马大定理)
(1) = (2) = (3)
