SUMMARY

The discussion centers on obtaining Andrew Wiles' complete proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, specifically the two papers published in the Annals of Mathematics in May 1995. Users are directed to the American Mathematical Society (AMS) website for access, requiring a subscription or university affiliation. The papers are titled "Modular Elliptic Curves and Fermat's Last Theorem" and "Ring-Theoretic Properties of Certain Hecke Algebras." Additionally, a link to the papers is provided in the discussion, eliminating the need for users to request emailed copies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of modular elliptic curves
  • Familiarity with Hecke algebras
  • Knowledge of advanced mathematical proofs
  • Access to academic resources or subscriptions
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Modular Elliptic Curves and Fermat's Last Theorem" by Andrew Wiles
  • Study "Ring-Theoretic Properties of Certain Hecke Algebras" by Richard Taylor and Andrew Wiles
  • Explore the American Mathematical Society (AMS) website for subscription details
  • Investigate the implications of Fermat's Last Theorem in modern mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, graduate students, and researchers interested in number theory and the historical significance of Fermat's Last Theorem will benefit from this discussion.

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.

Moderator's note:
Post #13 below has a link to Wiles's two papers. There is no need to request emailed copies from this member.


hi
i have it ( Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's last theorem). should i e-mail it to you? it's a pdf file and about 800k big.

LoL! Mathwonks last theorem :)
 
I have a marvellous proof of ..., agggh!
 
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.
