One of the latest mathematical discoveries was the proof, by Andrew Wiles, of Fermat's last theorum, a 300-year old conjecture that had eluded professional mathematicians as well as serious amateurs. This revised edition covers newer developments and unsolved problems.
Provides a study of advanced mathematical thinking as performed by mathematicians and taught to students in senior high school and university. This book's three main parts focus on the nature of advanced mathematical thinking, the theory of its cognitive development, and reviews of cognitive research.
