A highly recommended book...

[Christoph]

We had some discussion on cryptography books a while ago, and I just thought
that if you have any interest in mathematics, read :

Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh (ISBN#0-385-49362-2)

It's excellent historical reading about math in general, and mainly covers
the life of Andrew Wiles who recently produced the proof that asserted
Pierre de Fermat's "Last Theorem".  This was a PBS-NOVA special as well.

This book is excellent reading!

I have another thought... perhaps we can expand the BLU web-site with
a "Jobs" section and a "Garage-Sale" section.  Then once a month, the
current data could be mailed out to the discussion list like a flyer.  Perhaps
attach it to the meeting notifications...

Discuss amongst yourselves...
