He said:- ... I was a ten year old and one day I happened to be looking in my local public library and I found a book on maths and it told a bit about the history of this problem and I, a ten year old, could understand it. From that moment I tried to solve it myself, it was such a challenge, such a beautiful problem, this problem was Fermat's Last Theorem. In 1971, Wiles entered Merton College, Oxford, graduating with a B.A. in 1974. He then entered Clare College, Cambridge to study for his doctorate. His Ph.D. supervisor at Cambridge was John Coates who said:- I have been very fortunate to have had Andrew as a student. Even as a research student he was a wonderful person to work with, he had very deep ideas then and it was always clear he was a mathematician who would do great things. Wiles did not work on Fermat's Last Theorem for his doctorate. He said:-

Fermat Corner Back to Homepage The Whole Story Who was Fermat? What is the Theorem? ... Wolfskehl Prize Andrew Wiles Fermat Corner Fermat’s Last Theorem is the most notorious problem in the history of mathematics and surrounding it is one of the greatest stories imaginable. This section explains what the theorem is, who invented it and who eventually proved it . When finished, it will also tell the fascinating stories of the some of the other mathematicians whose lives were tormented by this beautiful and intriguing problem. Fermat’s Last Theorem dominated my own life for four years, because I made a TV documentary, wrote a book and then lectured on the subject. Getting involved in Fermat’s mischievous conundrum set me on the path towards being an author and ignited an interest in mathematics that has continued ever since. As a physicist, I was always interested in mathematics as a tool for studying the universe, but learning about Fermat’s Last Theorem taught me to love mathematics for its own sake. There is a Mathematics Corner currently being developed for this site.

News from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Office of Communications, Stanhope Hall Princeton, New Jersey 08544-5264 Contact: Mary Caffrey (609) 258-5748 Date: August 27, 1998 Andrew Wiles Receives Special Tribute from International Mathematical Union Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem Merits First-Ever Silver Plaque Princeton, N.J. Princeton Professor Andrew Wiles, who stunned mathematicians worldwide five years ago when he announced a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, received an unprecedented honor last week from the International Mathematical Union during the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. The congress, held every four years, opened August 18 and concludes today. Wiles was honored with a special silver plaque at the congress' opening ceremony, when the Fields Medal is awarded. The Fields, considered the highest honor in mathematics, is awarded only every four years and only to mathematicians age 40 or younger. (There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics.) Wiles, now 45, was just past 40 when he completed his final proof solving Fermat's problem; thus, the IMU found another way to honor his achievement. This year's Fields Medallists are Richard Borcherds and Timothy Gowers of Cambridge University, Curtis McMullen of Harvard University and Maxim Kontsevich of the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques.

Andrew Wiles Interview Back to Who is Andrew Wiles? Interview with Andrew Wiles Nova Website by Simon Singh Andrew Wiles has devoted his entire career to solving Fermat’s Last Theorem, the world’s most notorious mathematical problem. In 1993, he made front-page headlines when he announced a proof of the problem, but this was not the end of the story. An error in his calculation jeopardized his life’s work. Andrew Wiles spoke to NOVA and described how he came to terms with the mistake, and fought back to eventually achieve his life’s ambition. N OVA : Many great scientific discoveries are the result of obsession, but in your case that obsession has held you since you were a child. ANDREW WILES : I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days. I loved doing problems in school, I’d take them home and make up knew ones of my own. But the best problem I ever found I found in my local public library. I was just browsing through the section of math books and I found this one book, which was all about one particular problem - Fermat’s Last Theorem. This problem had been unsolved by mathematicians for 300 years. It looked so simple, and yet all the great mathematicians in history couldn’t solve it. Here was a problem, that I a ten year old could understand and I knew from that moment that I would never let it go. I had to solve it.

Who is Andrew Wiles? Back to Fermat Corner Andrew Wiles Interview Who is Andrew Wiles? I first met Andrew Wiles when I began researching for a BBC documentary about his proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Although he was clearly a man with a brilliant mind, an immense determination and an obsession that had haunted him since childhood, he came across as a modest, diffident man. It was obvious that he hated publicity, so it was not a complete surprise that initially he was reluctant to have his story filmed for TV. Eventually, my colleague, John Lynch, persuaded him that it was his duty to be filmed. By telling his story on screen, Wiles could inspire a new generation of mathematicians and reveal the power of mathematics to the public. Here was a story of passion and intrigue that would enchant people around the world. Andrew Wiles aged ten years, when he first encountered Fermat's Last Theorem
