皮埃尔·德·费马无疑是数学史上最令人着迷的家伙之一.他出生于17世纪法国一个商人家庭,仕途一帆风顺,以至于有资格在姓氏中使用“de”这个代表贵族身份的前缀.费马把所有的业余时间都用在了数学上,却被《业余大数学家的数学》一书的作者排除在外,“他那么杰出,应该算专业数学家”. Pierre de Fermat is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of mathematics.He was born in a merchant family in the 17th century in France and has so smooth his career that he is entitled to use the “de” The prefix of his identity, Fermat used all his spare time in mathematics but was excluded by the author of The Math of Amateur Great Mathematician, who was so distinguished that he should be a professional mathematician.
