Fermat's Last Theorem

I happened to glance through one of books which I always wanted to read. Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh is one of the page turners. I have read few books for their story telling ability or their literary ability. I have read few text books for the sole purpose of digesting the contents. This book is mind boggling and will make you turn the page and will let you think as well. This book is written in explaining simple concepts. The book does contain appendices for math junkies who like to digest proofs. Well what is Fermat's last theorem and why does this have so much significance for Mathematcial community, I would say you got to read the book or journals or cheat like me to watch youtube to get proof of Fermat's last theorem. Here you go.
