The documentary "Fermat's Last Theorem" captured Wiles's emotional outburst when the proof was completed.
Wiles's proof combined modern mathematical tools such as modular forms, elliptic curves and Galois representations.
Andrew Wiles is a British mathematician famous for proving Fermat's Last Theorem.
Previously, most experts believed that completely translating Wiles's proof into Lean would take many years.
Fermat's Last Theorem was proposed by Fermat in 1637, proved by Andrew Wiles in 1995, and had puzzled the mathematical community for 358 years.
British mathematician Andrew Wiles provided the complete proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 1994
The core strategy of Wiles's proof is to prove a special case of the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture (the modularity theorem), namely that every semistable elliptic curve is a modular form.
Fermat's Last Theorem was fully proved by Andrew Wiles in 1995.
Wiles's paper proving Fermat's Last Theorem is 129 pages long.
