Computing with Fermat is a fascinating collection of math articles that pay tribute to the great Pierre de Fermat, exploring various math problems using computational number theory that relate to his work. With chapters such as On Fermat's Factorization Method, Fun With the Sqrt(n) Primality Test, Near-Misses of Fermat's Last Theorem, and Marin Mersenne and the Power of Modern Computing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how computational number theory is changing the game in the world of mathematics. The author, who found solace in Simon Singh's book Fermat's Enigma during a difficult time in his life, was inspired to delve into the world of computational number theory. The book features the author's own papers related to Fermat's work, as well as two chapters from his book The Lowbrow Experimental Mathematician that explore certain Fermat-type problems in elementary number theory. Computing with Fermat is a must-read for anyone interested in the legacy of Pierre de Fermat and the fascinating world of computational number theory. With its accessible writing style and engaging content, this book is sure to inspire and entertain readers of all levels.
