Sir Andrew John Wiles. Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a proof by British mathematician Sir Andrew Wiles of a special case of the modularity theorem for elliptic curves. Together with Ribet's theorem, it provides a proof for Fermat's Last Theorem. Both Fermat's Last Theorem and the modularity theorem were believed to be impossible to ...

Donald Trump’s second administration is starting off on the best possible footing with the hire of Susie Wiles as chief of staff — putting him in position to create the most optimistic and ...
Andrew Wiles and Richard Taylor proved the modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves, which was enough to imply Fermat's Last Theorem. Later, a series of papers by Wiles's former students Brian Conrad , Fred Diamond and Richard Taylor, culminating in a joint paper with Christophe Breuil , extended Wiles's techniques to prove the full ...
