Sir Andrew John Wiles KBE FRS (born 11 April 1953) is an English mathematician and a Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Oxford, specialising in number theory.
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 (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.
