Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles is famous for proving Fermat's last theorem, for which he was awarded a special silver plaque by the International Mathematical Union in 1998. Pierre de Fermat was a 17th-century mathematician who jotted down a note in the margin of his notebook claiming to have proved that for the general family of equations x n + y n = z n where n is bigger than 2, it is impossible to find an integer solution. During Wiles search for a proof he worked on many outstanding problems in number theory, including the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures, the principal conjecture of Iwasawa theory, and the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil conjecture, the latter leading to the proof of Fermat's last theorem. Fermat's notorious claim inspired generations of mathematicans over the intervening centuries, but few had come close to a solution. Wiles first met the problem aged 10, but it was not until later that he started the seven year marathon that became his proof. Unlike most mathematicians, Wiles worked alone on elliptic curves and modular forms, building on the work of Gerhard Frey, Barry Mazur, Kenneth Ribet, Karl Rubin, Jean-Pierre Serre, and many others. Wiles proof was first announced in series of lectures at Cambridge University in 1993, and created a sensation in the mathematical community. However, due to the complexity of the proof, it became apparent that there were some gaps, which took Wiles, helped by Richard Taylor, until 1995, when he was awarded the Wolf Prize (1995-1996).

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.

Princeton University Andrew Wiles, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics, received a special tribute from the International Mathematical Union on August 18. Because he was just past 40 when he completed his final proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles was not eligible for the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, which is awarded once every four years to mathematicians 40 and younger. So the IMU awarded him its first-ever silver plaque at this year's congress in Berlin. See press release... Department of Mathermatics University home Caption page archive ... Web page feedback

Andrew Wiles Andrew Wiles was born in Cambridge in England in 1953. His love of mathematics dates from his early childhood days. His mother, a mathematics teacher, encouraged his enthusiasm for numbers. He used to make up his own mathematics problems once he had completed his schoolwork, and browse the mathematics section of his local public library. It was there that he discovered Fermat's Last Theorem, and was intrigued by it, at the age of ten. From that moment onwards, solving Fermat's Last Theorem became a lifetime ambition. Andrew Wiles studied mathematics at university, and when he had finished his degree, he was accepted to Cambridge University as a research student. He was unable to spend his time studying Fermat's Last Theorem, as it would prove a very time consuming task, and if the problem had not been solved for centuries, it was unlikely that a mere research student would be able to make any progress. Elliptic curves were 'in fashion' in the 1970s, and so Wiles spent his time researching these, specifically a topic called Iwasawa theory (a fundamental branch of modern number theory). After he was awarded his Ph.D., he moved to the United States where he had a job in the mathematics department at Princeton University. He continued to study elliptic curves and Iwasawa theory. He was appointed a professor in 1982.

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 new 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." Andrew Wiles devoted much of his entire career to proving Fermat's Last Theorem, the world's most famous 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. "It was an error in a crucial part of the argument, but it was something

Read through the sheet, and take notes while you are watching the videos. Philosophy We have spent most of the semester (9 out of 14 weeks) learning useful material that is applicable to real-life situations. We spent so much time on these topics because it is important to learn useful and applicable ideas. Our motto during financial mathematics and statistics ( from the creative inquiry -lessons for life list) was to "understand issues deeply, especially those ideas which seem simple". In fact, up until this point in the class, you may have already seen some (or all) of the mathematics that we have been doing. All of the material that we have covered is currently being covered (at a much slower pace and at a surface level instead of the level of depth that we covered) in North Carolina schools in middle school through high school. Yet, this is a core mathematics course. In a core English course, you would not expect to spend the entire semester on grammar or spelling, no matter how useful or applicable. Similarly, in a core music course, you would not expect to spend the entire semester learning how to read music notes, and in a core art appreciation course, you would not expect to spend your time mixing paints.

Quantum Physics Pampered Chef Paintball Guns Cell Phone Reviews ... Science Articles Andrew Wiles Online Encyclopedia Andrew John Wiles (born April 11 ) is a British mathematician In one of the great success stories in the history of mathematics , Andrew Wiles (with help from Richard Taylor) proved Fermat's Last Theorem in Before this result, Andrew Wiles had done outstanding work in number theory . In work with John Coates he obtained some of the first results on a famous conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, and he also did important work on the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory . He was and is a professor at Princeton University Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) asserts that there are no positive natural numbers x y , and z such that in which n is a natural number greater than 2. Wiles' odyssey began in when Ken Ribet, inspired by an idea of Gerhard Frey, proved that FLT would follow from another conjecture of Taniyama and Shimura , to the effect that every elliptic curve can be parametrized by modular forms . Though less familiar than Fermat's Last Theorem, the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture is the more significant of the two, because it touches on truly deep currents in number theory. No one had any idea how to prove it. Working in absolute secrecy, and sharing his ideas and progress only with Nicholas Katz, another professor of mathematics at Princeton, Wiles eventually developed a proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, and of hence FLT. The proof is a

sei su http://digilander.iol.it/fisicasg Andrew Wiles All’età di 10 anni Wiles conobbe l’esistenza dell’ ultimo teorema di Fermat e il desiderio di risolverlo lo accompagnò per tutti i suoi studi. Nel 1975 Wiles iniziò a lavorare come studente laureato e si dedicò alla tesi di dottorato. Tutto ciò che aveva fatto nel decennio precedente era stato finalizzato alla preparazione per la risoluzione del teorema. Wiles sosteneva:"I matematici puri amano la sfida. Amano i problemi irrisolti." Era il 1986, Wiles decise di immergersi completamente nello studio del problema e di lavorare in isolamento e in assoluta segretezza, per realizzare il suo sogno; l’unica persona che conosceva il suo segreto era la moglie . Dopo sette anni di sforzi ostinati Wiles aveva completato la dimostrazione. Dopo averlo sognato per 30 anni aveva dimostrato l’ultimo teorema di Fermat, era il 23 giugno dell’anno 1993. La prima pagina di Le Monde titolava " Le théorèm de Fermat enfin résolu " ,il New York Times scriveva " Finalmente svelato un secolare mistero matematico". Per poter riscuotere il Premio Wolfskehl Wiles presentò la sua dimostrazione (duecento pagine) ad un comitato di matematici incaricati di controllare l’esattezza del procedimento.

Andrew J. Wiles Awarded the "IMU Silver Plaque" The British mathematician Andrew J. Wiles was honored with the "IMU silver plaque" of the International Mathematical Union. The chairman of the Fields Medals Committee, Yuri Manin, presented him with this award during the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. During the Congress, which is held every four years, four Fields Medals are awarded to outstanding mathematicians under the age of forty. In view of their significance the Fields medals are often dubbed the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics." Four years ago, Andrew J. Wiles was a hot favorite for an award, since in 1993 he had presented a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem one of the most famous mathematical puzzles, which had remained unsolved for more than 350 years. Shortly afterwards, however, colleagues found a gap in the proof, which Wiles was only able to close up a year later. But this was too late for the Fields Medal, because Wiles was then over the age limit of forty. With its special tribute, the International Mathematical Union acknowledged Andrew J. Wiles's outstanding achievement. Andrew J. Wiles
