Description
Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat’s Last Theorem is a masterful introduction to the deep mathematical concepts underlying one of history’s greatest mathematical achievements. This fifth edition, revised and updated for 2025, guides readers through the essential theory of algebraic numbers, ideal factorization, and class field theory.
The book traces the journey toward Andrew Wiles’ groundbreaking proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, demonstrating how algebraic number theory evolved as a powerful tool for solving number-theoretic problems. Stewart and Tall present complex concepts with clarity and rigor, making advanced mathematics accessible to serious students and mathematicians.
Featuring detailed proofs, worked examples, and carefully structured chapters, this text serves as both a learning resource and a reference for those studying number theory, algebra, and mathematical history.
