Cambridge, England, April 11, 1953] When he was ten years old, Wiles became interested in the solution to the problem known as Fermat's Last Theorem. Although he worked on other parts of mathematics while obtaining his doctorate at Cambridge University in 1980, he remained interested in the Fermat theorem. He began teaching mathematics at Princeton University in New Jersey in 1982. In 1986 he learned of new results that might lead to a proof of the Fermat theorem and began a secret project to use this approach to make a proof. It took seven years of intense concentration to produce a proof, but other mathematicians pointed out flaws in the 1993 publication. In collaboration with Richard L. Taylor, Wiles resolved all the difficulties and published the final proof in 1995. Wikipedia Andrew Wiles Andrew John Wiles (born April 11 ) is a British mathematician living in the United States .

Solving Fermat: Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles devoted much of his entire career to proving Fermat's Last Theorem, the world's most famous mathematical problem. In 1993, he made front-page headlines when he announced a proof of the problem, but this was not the end of the story; an error in his calculation jeopardized his life's work. Andrew Wiles spoke to NOVA and described how he came to terms with the mistake, and eventually went on to achieve his life's ambition. NOVA: Many great scientific discoveries are the result of obsession, but in your case that obsession has held you since you were a child. ANDREW WILES: I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days. I loved doing problems in school. I'd take them home and make up new ones of my own. But the best problem I ever found, I found in my local public library. I was just browsing through the section of math books and I found this one book, which was all about one particular problem Fermat's Last Theorem. This problem had been unsolved by mathematicians for 300 years. It looked so simple, and yet all the great mathematicians in history couldn't solve it. Here was a problem, that I, a ten year old, could understand and I knew from that moment that I would never let it go. I had to solve it. NOVA: Who was Fermat and what was his Last Theorem?

Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles was born in Cambridge in 1953. He began to show a particular interest for mathematics at a very young age. At the age of ten, young Wiles discovered a book at his local library that contained some mathematical problems. It was in this book that Wiles first encountered Fermat's Last Theorem. He saw that there was a problem that he could understand but not even some of the greatest mathematicians had been able to solve. It was then that proving Fermat's Last Theorem would become Wile's lifelong dream.

Fermat wrote in a book that he owned, "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof but this margin is too small to contain it", but most mathermaticians today feel that he was in error.

Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles was born in Cambridge in 1953. As a schoolboy, he was fascinated by maths and he would eventually be the man to prove a theorem that had confounded generations. The young Wiles loved solving puzzles. He would go to the library and find books with problems for him to solve. One day he came across a book called The Last Problem by E.T Bell. It was an account of Fermat's Last Theorem and the mathematicians it had withstood. Wiles was intrigued - here was a problem that he could understand easily and yet many people had been unable to prove it. Wiles figured that the 17th century Fermat didn't know much more mathematics than a 20th century school boy and he was right. He thought that he might be able to spot some trick which had eluded all these famous mathematicians. He tried all the techniques he knew to no avail. Later, Wiles went to Cambridge University to study maths. Naturally, he did very well. He realised that it wouldn't really be acceptable to work on Fermat for his PhD. His supervisor suggested that he study Elliptic Curves . This would turn out give him the perfect tools for a later attempt on the Last Theorem Andrew Wiles After finishing his Phd, Wiles moved to America to teach at Princeton. With the various pressures of his work, he didn't have to time to devote to solving

Andrew John Wiles born 11 April 1953 "Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark mansion. One goes into the first room, and it's dark, completely dark. One stumbles around bumping into the furniture, and gradually, you learn where each piece of furniture is, and finally, after six months or so, you find the light switch. You turn it on, and suddenly, it's all illuminated. You can see exactly where you were. Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles earned his B.A. at Oxford in 1974, and received his Ph.D. from Cambridge in 1980. In 1981, he took a post at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and he became a professor at Princeton the following year. About 350 years ago, Pierre de Fermat used to write in the margins of his math books. He wrote notes to himself, and sketched out ideas. Over time, mathematicians went back through Fermat's notes, and wrote formal "official" proofs for most of Fermat's conjectures (the fancy word for guess). One of Fermat's guesses, however, could not be proved. It became known as Fermat's Last Theorem because it was the last one left to prove. You can read more about number theory and Fermat's Last Theorem in the Den Andrew Wiles first learned about Fermat's Last Theorem as a child. "I was a ten year old, and one day I happened to be looking in my local public library and I found a book on math, and it told a bit about the history of this problem and I, a ten year old, could understand it. From that moment I tried to solve it myself, it was such a challenge, such a beautiful problem."
