Diophantus and Diophantine Equations

By: Isabella Grigoryevna Bashmakova

This book tells the story of Diophantine analysis, a subject that, owing to its thematic proximity to algebraic geometry, became fashionable in the last half century and has remained so ever since. This new treatment of the methods of Diophantus—a person whose very existence has long been doubted by most historians of mathematics—will be accessible to readers who have taken some university mathematics. It includes the elementary facts of algebraic geometry indispensable for its understanding. The heart of the book is a fascinating account of the development of Diophantine methods during the Renaissance and in the work of Fermat. This account is continued to our own day and ends with an afterword by Joseph Silverman, who notes the most recent developments including the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

The Beginnings and Evolution of Algebra

By: Isabella Bashmakova

The elements of algebra were known to the ancient mesopotamians at least 4000 years ago. Today, algebra stands as one of the cornerstones of modern mathematics. How then did the subject evolve? An illuminating read for historians of mathematics and working algebraists looking into the history of their subject.
