The most exciting part of “The Last Theorem” (Del Rey: 304 pp., $27), the novel by the late Arthur C. Clarke and fellow science fiction veteran Frederik Pohl, has nothing to do with the ...

When Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem in the early 1990s, his proof was hailed as a monumental step forward not just for mathematicians but for all of humanity. The theorem is ...

In 1994, an earthquake of a proof shook up the mathematical world. The mathematician Andrew Wiles had finally settled Fermat’s Last Theorem, a central problem in number theory that had remained open ...

The theorem is called Pierre de Fermat's last because, of his many conjectures, it was the last and longest to be unverified. In 1630, Fermat wrote in the margin of an old Greek mathematics book ...

Otherwise known as “Fermat’s Last Theorem,” this equation was first posed by French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in 1637, and had stumped the world’s brightest minds for more than 300 years.

A proof of Fermat's Last Theorem had eluded mathematicians since the 17th century, until Andrew Wiles had a remarkable breakthrough in 1994.

But Fermat’s Last Theorem was stuck in math’s craw for hundreds of years. It was finally proven in 1993 by English mathematician Andrew Wiles in a written proof that is 100 pages long.

Fermat’s Last Theorem is so simple to state, but so hard to prove. Though the 350-year-old claim is a straightforward one about integers, the proof that University of Oxford mathematician Andrew ...
