Review

"It delivers a tour through basic number theory, Galois theory, and the rudiments of arithmetic geometry". -- Jordan Ellenberg, Seed, June/July 2006"The view from the top is spectacular but from halfway up, it's pretty good too". -- Justin Mullins, New Scientist

Review

All too often, abstract mathematics, one of the most beautiful of human intellectual creations, is ground into the dry dust of drills and proofs. Useful, yes; exciting, no. Avner Ash and Robert Gross have done something different--by focusing on the ideas that modern mathematicians actually care about. Fearless Symmetry is a book about detecting hidden patterns, about finding definitions that clarify, about the study of numbers that has entranced some of our great thinkers for thousands of years. It is a book that takes on number theory in a way that a nonmathematician can follow-systematically but without a barrage of technicalities. Ash and Gross are two terrific guides who take the reader, scientist or layman, on a wonderful hike through concepts that matter, culminating in the extraordinary peaks that surround the irresistible, beckoning claim of Fermat's Last Theorem. (Peter Galison, Harvard University )
