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 ...
The strategy that ultimately led to a successful proof of Fermat's Last Theorem arose from the "astounding" [137]: 211 Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture, proposed around 1955—which many mathematicians believed would be near to impossible to prove, [137]: 223 and was linked in the 1980s by Gerhard Frey, Jean-Pierre Serre and Ken Ribet to ...
O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (1996), Fermat's last theorem, MacTutor History of Mathematical Topics, archived from the original on 2013-01-16 University of St Andrews. "The Proof". PBS. The title of one edition of the PBS television series NOVA, discusses Andrew Wiles's effort to prove Fermat's Last Theorem.
Shortly after Arcadia opened in London, Andrew Wiles announced his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, a coincidence of timing that resulted in news stories about the proof quoting Stoppard. [21] Fermat's Last Tango is a 2000 stage musical by Joanne Sydney Lessner and Joshua Rosenblum. [22] Protagonist "Daniel Keane" is a fictionalized Andrew Wiles ...
The latter formulation has been used in the proof of the conjecture. Dealing with the level of the forms (and the connection to the conductor of the curve) is particularly delicate. The most spectacular application of the conjecture is the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT). Suppose that for a prime p ≥ 5, the Fermat equation

He bequeathed 100,000 marks (equivalent to €720,000 in 2023) to the first person to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. [1] He was the younger of two sons of a banker, Joseph Carl Theodor Wolfskehl. His elder brother, the jurist Wilhelm Otto Wolfskehl, took over the family bank after the death of his father.
