Category: Abel Prize
the first prize in 2003 went to Jean-Pierre Serre, whose worked helped Andrew Wiles prove this man’s famous “Last Theorem“
Pierre de Fermat
The proposition was first stated as a theorem by Pierre de Fermat around 1637. Fermat’s Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat’s conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. The cases n = 1 and n = 2 have been known since antiquity to have infinitely many solutions.
After 358 years of effort by mathematicians, the first successful proof was released in 1994 by Andrew Wiles and formally published in 1995. It was described as a “stunning advance” in the citation for Wiles’s Abel Prize award in 2016.
The unsolved problem stimulated the development of algebraic number theory in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is among the most notable theorems in the history of mathematics and prior to its proof was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “most difficult mathematical problem”
