description Andrew Wiles Overview

Andrew Wiles is best known for his historic proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, a problem that had remained unsolved for over 350 years. By proving the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture for semistable elliptic curves, Wiles connected two disparate areas of mathematicselliptic curves and modular formsin a way that few thought possible. His work is a testament to the power of persistence and the depth of modern algebraic geometry. Wiles' achievement is considered one of the greatest mathematical feats of the 20th century, and his work continues to inspire new research in number theory and arithmetic geometry.
