Book Name: The History of Mathematics
Writer: Jacqueline Stedall
It is a rarity indeed a prickly old numerical issue makes the news, yet
in1993 papers in Britain, France, and the United States declared that a 40-
year-old mathematician called Andrew Wiles, in a talk at the Isaac
NewtonInstitute in Cambridge, had shown proof of a 350-year-old problem
known as Fermat’s Last Theorem. As it turned out, the case was a little
premature: Wiles’ 200 pages of science contained a blunder that took a little
while to fix, however after two years the verification was secure. The tale of
Wiles’ nine-year battle with the hypothesis turned into the subject of a book
and of a television film in which Wiles was moved to tears as he discussed
his last breakthrough.One reason that this bit of numerical history so got
the public imagination was without a doubt the figure of Wiles himself. For
a very long time before the Cambridge address, he had worked in close to
segregation, giving himself resolutely to the profound and confounded
arithmetic fundamental the theorem.
