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.
