It was first published in 1908, and went through many editions. It was intended to help reform mathematics teaching in the UK, and more specifically in the University of Cambridge, and in schools preparing pupils to study mathematics at Cambridge. As such, it was aimed directly at "scholarship level" students – the top 10% to 20% by ability.
Ian Stewart belongs to a very small, very exclusive club of popular science and mathematics writers who are worth reading today. Robert Schaefer of New York Journal of Books [ 3 ] Kirkus Reviews said Stewart "succeed[ed] in illuminating many but not all of some very difficult ideas", and that the book "will enchant math enthusiasts as well as ...
Popular mathematics is mathematical presentation aimed at a general audience. Sometimes this is in the form of books which require no mathematical background and in other cases it is in the form of expository articles written by professional mathematicians to reach out to others working in different areas.
Today’s mathematicians would probably agree that the Riemann Hypothesis is the most significant open problem in all of math. It’s one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems , with $1 million ...

This use of mathematics in the real world was cited in the Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society. [7] In 2012, Chamberlain was involved with the UK STEM Project "Being a Professional Mathematician", where his interview was selected for an iTunes podcast. [8] [9] In 2014 he was named by the Science Council as one of the UK's top scientists. [10]

Fermat's Last Theorem, formulated in 1637, states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation + = if n is an integer greater than two (n > 2).. Over time, this simple assertion became one of the most famous unproved claims in mathematics.
