Dummy View - NOT TO BE DELETED

Most mathematics books chase a topic or a theory. This one chases a particular question from the first results, due to Fermat, all the way to a complete solution. The author does his best to keep the reader with him all along, but it’s a long road. New coverage of the Shimura reciprocity law and a selection of recent work in an updated bibliography Fermat managed to find complete solutions for \(n=1,2,3\). He showed that in those cases there is a congruence condition on the prime \(p\) that decides the question. For example: Every prime number which surpasses by one a multiple of four is composed of two squares. …
