You've done some good work so far. There are a few things missing from the article: 1) Details about Wiles's youth, besides his interest in mathematics. 2) A description of what he did between graduate school and his work on the Fermat proof. The lead says that he did work on Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer before working on Fermat's last theorem.
In mathematics, the Langlands program is a set of conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry.It was proposed by Robert Langlands (1967, 1970).It seeks to relate Galois groups in algebraic number theory to automorphic forms and representation theory of algebraic groups over local fields and adeles.
