In this book, Avner Ash and Robert Gross guide readers through the mathematics they need to understand this captivating problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe key to the conjecture lies in elliptic curves, which may appear simple, but arise from some very deep--and often very mystifying--mathematical ideas. Using only basic algebra and calculus while presenting numerous eye-opening examples, Ash and Gross make these ideas accessible to general readers, and, in the process, venture to the very frontiers of modern mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avner Ash, Robert Gross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691151199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691151199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.43h x 6.42w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012","brand":"Avner Ash","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981101498623,"sku":"9780691151199","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9f275c2-94cb-4ee8-96fa-c9aa94e46986.jpg?v=1683253663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elliptic-tales-avner-ash-9780691151199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
