Simon Singh

Simon Singh is a British popular science author and theoretical and particle physicist, and his books take hard subjects and make them readable. Fermat's Last Theorem follows the long search for a proof of Fermat's equation, while The Code Book traces the history of secrecy and cryptography. Big Bang covers the origins of the universe, and Trick or Treatment, written with Edzard Ernst, examines alternative medicine. He also wrote The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets, which finds real mathematical ideas hidden in episodes of The Simpsons and Futurama.
