Reply This leisurely tour of the 250 years of mathematics that went into proving Fermat's Last Theorem, and its portraits of the mathematicians who contributed to this achievement, is highly accessible without sacrificing mathematical accuracy. Aug 22, 2009 - The book was The Parrot's Theorem. Jul 24, 2010 - I'm working on my third short story about Alan Turing. Mar 14, 2012 - It's hard not to parrot the blurb, but this book is both a gripping human story and, at the same time, and a light on the tensions at a key point in our intellectual history, relevant to almost every theme of concern to readers here. Armed with this dubious premise, the novel meanders on as Colin mopes and tries to establish a "theorem" to explain his history as a "dumpee".

Recently I also read one other book that he mentioned: Surreal Numbers, by Don Knuth. Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey 28. Although I am a great fan of almost everything Knuth writes, this book didn't caught me much. "You are not even aware of It's the Central Limit Theorem, Stupid! In the back of my mind I'm hoping that these stories can congeal into a novel with the title, Turing. Oct 7, 2013 - I'll never forget watching him smile smugly at Donald Rumsfeld as Rumsfeld fumbled with his mic before a story, and then lobbed softballs Rumsfeld's way.
