    Extractions: Pierre_de_Fermat.jpg Pierre de Fermat Fermat's last theorem (sometimes abbreviated as FLT and also called Fermat's great theorem ) is one of the most famous theorems in the history of mathematics . It states that: The 17th-century mathematician Pierre de Fermat wrote about this in in his copy of Claude-Gaspar Bachet 's translation of the famous Arithmetica of Diophantus : "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this theorem that the margin of this page is too small to contain". (Original Latin : "Cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.") However, no correct proof was found for 357 years. This statement is significant because all the other theorems proposed by Fermat were settled, either by proofs he supplied, or by rigorous proofs found afterwards. Mathematicians were long baffled, for they were unable either to prove or to disprove it. The theorem was therefore not the last that Fermat conjectured, but the

    Extractions: by Simon Singh Andrew Wiles has devoted his entire career to solving Fermat’s Last Theorem, the world’s most notorious 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 fought back to eventually achieve his life’s ambition. N OVA : 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 knew 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.

    Extractions: Who is Andrew Wiles? Back to Fermat Corner Andrew Wiles Interview Who is Andrew Wiles? I first met Andrew Wiles when I began researching for a BBC documentary about his proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Although he was clearly a man with a brilliant mind, an immense determination and an obsession that had haunted him since childhood, he came across as a modest, diffident man. It was obvious that he hated publicity, so it was not a complete surprise that initially he was reluctant to have his story filmed for TV. Eventually, my colleague, John Lynch, persuaded him that it was his duty to be filmed. By telling his story on screen, Wiles could inspire a new generation of mathematicians and reveal the power of mathematics to the public. Here was a story of passion and intrigue that would enchant people around the world.

    Extractions: PDF format WSWS By Peter Symonds The following article was first published on July 23, 1993 in Workers News, the newspaper of the Socialist Labour League, the forerunner to the Socialist Equality Party (Australia). On June 23, 1993, an event took place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University in Britain of considerable historic significance for the field of mathematics. In what could prove to be a major breakthrough, Andrew Wiles, a 40-year-old number theorist from Princeton University, concluded a series of three lectures on "Modular forms, elliptic curves, and Galois representations" by proving one of the longest standing problems in mathematicsFermat's last theorem, first stated around 1637. According to press reports, the proof, which is yet to be published, is up to 1,000 pages in length and uses intricate arguments from highly abstract areas of pure mathematics. Wiles' claims are yet to be checked in detail and it is possible that a flaw will be found. [Note: A major gap was found in the proof and was only resolved in October 1994. After extensive checking, the manuscripts were finally published in the May 1995 volume of the journal

    Extractions: Date: August 27, 1998 Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem Merits First-Ever Silver Plaque Princeton, N.J. Princeton Professor Andrew Wiles, who stunned mathematicians worldwide five years ago when he announced a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, received an unprecedented honor last week from the International Mathematical Union during the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. The congress, held every four years, opened August 18 and concludes today. Wiles was honored with a special silver plaque at the congress' opening ceremony, when the Fields Medal is awarded. The Fields, considered the highest honor in mathematics, is awarded only every four years and only to mathematicians age 40 or younger. (There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics.) Wiles, now 45, was just past 40 when he completed his final proof solving Fermat's problem; thus, the IMU found another way to honor his achievement. This year's Fields Medallists are Richard Borcherds and Timothy Gowers of Cambridge University, Curtis McMullen of Harvard University and Maxim Kontsevich of the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques.

    Extractions: Andrew Wiles, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics, received a special tribute from the International Mathematical Union on August 18. Because he was just past 40 when he completed his final proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles was not eligible for the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, which is awarded once every four years to mathematicians 40 and younger. So the IMU awarded him its first-ever silver plaque at this year's congress in Berlin. See press release... Department of Mathermatics

    Extractions: Andrew Wiles and Fermat's Last Theorem We will model the process from Dr. Sarah's What is a Mathematician? for Andrew Wiles and Fermat's Last Theorem. Read through the sheet, and take notes while you are watching the videos. We have spent most of the semester (9 out of 14 weeks) learning useful material that is applicable to real-life situations. We spent so much time on these topics because it is important to learn useful and applicable ideas. Our motto during financial mathematics and statistics ( from the creative inquiry -lessons for life list) was to "understand issues deeply, especially those ideas which seem simple". In fact, up until this point in the class, you may have already seen some (or all) of the mathematics that we have been doing. All of the material that we have covered is currently being covered (at a much slower pace and at a surface level instead of the level of depth that we covered) in North Carolina schools in middle school through high school. Yet, this is a core mathematics course. In a core English course, you would not expect to spend the entire semester on grammar or spelling, no matter how useful or applicable. Similarly, in a core music course, you would not expect to spend the entire semester learning how to read music notes, and in a core art appreciation course, you would not expect to spend your time mixing paints.

    Extractions: Sir Andrew Wiles is elected to Honorary Membership of the Society in recognition of his unique contributions to Number Theory. Celebrated world-wide for his spectacular proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Andrew Wiles has changed the landscape of modern number theory through his insights and achievements. At the same time, and more than any mathematician of modern times, he has changed our perception of mathematical endeavour. In finding a proof of a large part of the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil conjecture, which has since been refined to give a proof of the full conjecture, Wiles opened up single-handedly a new route to many problems in modern number theory hitherto believed intractable, which form part of what is commonly known as the `Langlands Programme'. Prior to this he proved a series of fundamental results in algebraic number theory. In joint work with John Coates he made spectacular progress towards the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves over the rationals with complex multiplication. His work on Iwasawa theory led to a formulation and proof of a far-reaching generalisation of Iwasawa's explicit reciprocity law in local class field theory. In the 1980s he and Mazur found a proof of Iwasawa's so-called `Main Conjecture' for cyclotomic fields, which Wiles later developed with further ingredients to yield a full proof of the Main Conjecture for arbitrary totally real number fields. Andrew Wiles has been Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University since 1994. His recognitions include the Schock Prize from the Swedish Academy in 1995, the Wolf Prize in 1996, and the following year the Cole Prize of the American Mathematical Society. At the International Mathematical Congress in Berlin in 1998 he was awarded a special medal. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1989, and a foreign member of the US National Academy of Sciences in 1996, and became a knight of the British Empire in 2000.
