Fermat's Enigma

The book combines history, mathematics, and human ingenuity—I'm curious what motivated Singh to tell this particular story and how he approached making complex math accessible.

Learning about the mathematicians and their struggles added a human element to the theorem. Did the historical details make the problem-solving process more engaging for others?

The narrative alternates between historical figures and mathematical breakthroughs—did this structure help keep the story compelling, or did it slow down the flow at times?
