Hi,
I am just wondering where i can find a copy of Andrew Wiles' complete proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Thankyou

Ray

There are two papers involved. The only online source I know of is AMS. See below for links. You will need access to a computer from an subscriber - e.g., university. Alternatively, you can try the library. Both papers appear in the Annals of Mathematics, 2nd Ser., Vol. 141, No. 3 (May, 1995) pp 443-572.

But don't write it in the margarine:

"My butter, garcon, is writ large in!"
a diner was heard to be chargin'.
"I HAD to write there,"
exclaimed waiter Pierre,
"I couldn't find room in the margarine."

Hi!
if you are undergraduate or even if you are PhD (as I am) and you read those paper you can become crazy, if you do not then for sure you need a big bottle of aspirines :). By the way I read them and I am alive and not enough crazy!

Then how can Analytical arguments ever prove anything?

Beats checking all the cases of the four color theorem by hand.

Hi, Johannes - I'd be most grateful if you could email me a copy of the paper you had referred to. My email id is gs (underscore) chandy (at) yahoo (dot) com - please substitute the appropriate characters in the brackets and remove the spaces around each bracket to get my email id. Thanks and regards, gsc

Would it be possible (& legal) to upload a copy.

A link to the papers has already been given in Post #13. There is no need to request emailed copies of Wiles's two papers, or to upload copies at PF.

1. What is Fermat's Last Theorem?

Fermat's Last Theorem is a mathematical conjecture proposed by Pierre de Fermat in the 17th century. It states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2.

2. Who is Andrew Wiles and how is he related to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem?

Andrew Wiles is a British mathematician who is credited with proving Fermat's Last Theorem in 1995. He spent seven years working on the proof in secret, and his work was eventually published in the journal Annals of Mathematics with the help of his former student Richard Taylor.

3. What is the significance of the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem?

The proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is significant because it finally confirmed the conjecture that had puzzled mathematicians for over 350 years. It also had a major impact on the field of number theory and led to further advancements in mathematics.

4. What is the general overview of the proof by Andrew Wiles?

The proof by Andrew Wiles involves a combination of algebraic geometry, modular forms, and number theory. Wiles used a technique known as elliptic curves to prove the theorem, which involves studying the properties of polynomial equations with two variables.

5. Are there any other notable contributions to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem?

Aside from Andrew Wiles' proof, there have been several other notable contributions to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In particular, mathematicians Gerhard Frey, Ken Ribet, and Jean-Pierre Serre made significant progress in the late 20th century that ultimately paved the way for Wiles' proof.
