本書是Boston大學舉辦的數(shù)論和代數(shù)會議的講義擴張而成。書中介紹和擴充講述了Wiles的許多觀點和技巧，并闡述了他的結(jié)果是如何與Ribets定理、Frey，Serre思想的結(jié)合，來證明費馬最后定理。從一個完整的證明開始，緊接著用一些章節(jié)介紹了雙曲線、模函數(shù)、曲線、伽羅瓦上同調(diào)和有限群的基本概念。表示理論是整個證明的核心，在一章有關(guān)自同構(gòu)表示論和Langlands-Tunnell定理給出，緊隨其后深度介紹Serres猜想、伽羅瓦變形、一般變形環(huán)、Hacke代數(shù)。本書以回顧和展望作為結(jié)束，既反映了這個問題的歷史，又將Wiles定理放在了一個更加一般的Diophantine背景，給出了預期應用。數(shù)學專業(yè)的學生和老師將會發(fā)現(xiàn)這本書是一部很難得參考書。
