The man who proved Fermat's Last Theorem. Professor Andrew Wiles FRS (b.1953),British mathematician,after presenting a proof of the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture during a lecture on 23 June 1993,Cambridge University. This proof,that every elliptic curve is associated with a modular form,is a profound part of number theory which he had been studying for seven years. A direct consequence of this proof is the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Despite its apparent simplicity,Fermat's Theorem had confounded mathematicians for 300 years - Fermat claimed his own proof was too large for the margin of the book he was annotating,so never published | |
