Sophie Germain (1776-1831) was largely self-taught in mathematics and, two centuries ago, in solitude, devised and implemented a plan to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. Pengelley has taken excerpts of her writings and, by asking his readers to decipher them, skillfully leads us through an inquiry-based course in elementary number theory.
