Fermat last theorem proved!



Here is this man named Sir Andrew John Wiles who proved the famous enigma and almost a 300 years old Fermat last theorem which simply states that no three positive integers a, b and c can satisfy the equation a^n+ b^n=c^n

if n is an integer greater than two Fermet. The things were not so good for this great figure when he challenged Fermet Last theorem which he found interesting from the age of eight. Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a proof of the modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves release together with Ribet's theorem, provides a proof for Fermat's Last Theorem. Both Fermat's Last Theorem and the Modularity Theorem were almost universally considered inaccessible to proof by contemporaneous mathematicians (meaning, impossible or virtually impossible to prove using current knowledge). Wiles first announced his proof in June 1993 in a version that was soon recognized as having a serious gap in a key point.Andrew Wiles then corrected it, in part via collaboration with a colleague, and the final, widely accepted, version was released by Wiles in September 1994, and formally published in 1995. The proof uses many techniques from algebraic geometry and number theory, and has many ramifications in these branches
