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 ...
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.
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 ...
Sir Andrew John Wiles (born 11 April 1953) is an English mathematician and a Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Oxford, specialising in number theory.He is best known for proving Fermat's Last Theorem, for which he was awarded the 2016 Abel Prize and the 2017 Copley Medal and for which he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2000.

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
LIsa Domski was awarded over $12 million by a jury after she was fired from her job for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The company gave all employees until Dec. 8, 2021, to adhere to the mandate.
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.
