Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
text:
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 prove using previous knowledge by almost all living mathematicians at the time. Wiles first announced his proof on 23 June 1993 at a lecture in Cambridge entitled "Modular Forms
