Abstract

This book about Fermat’s last theorem was written for the enjoyment of amateurs. Most of the proofs are given in full detail and use only elementary and easily understandable methods. For this reason, it was imperative to exclude developments depending on the study of ideals of number fields or on more sophisticated theories. However, in this final part we indicate the more important achievements which could not be dealt with using elementary methods. We also give a succinct description of the approach to the proof of Fermat’s last theorem. To help the reader who wants to know more about these matters, a bibliography of important articles is also included.
