Andrew Wiles (born April 11, 1953, Cambridge, England) is a British mathematician who proved Fermat’s last theorem. In recognition, he was awarded a special silver plaque—he was beyond the traditional age limit of 40 years for receiving the gold Fields Medal —by the International Mathematical Union in 1998.

Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a proof by British mathematician 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.

Andrew Wiles. Andrew Wiles is one of the very few mathematicians – if not the only – whose proof of a theorem has been international headline news. In 1994 he cracked Fermat’s Last Theorem, which at the time was the most famous, and long-running, unsolved problem in the subject’s history.
