translated, for a. and j. A few years ago I found an abstract algebra book at a used book sale. Although I knew I'd probably never read it I bought it anyway, 'cause it costed just one buck and I can't never say no to cheap books! Said book stayed quietly on my bookshelf for many months, and I'd totally forget about its existence if one day I didn't suddenly found myself wanting to solve a pretty cool problem, which is proving that 26 is the only natural number preceded by a square (25) and succeeded by a cube (27). People on Yahoo! Answers told me that it's a theorem by Fermat, and if I wanted to prove it I needed to know more about
