Andrew Wiles devoted much of his time in to proving the Fermat's Last Theorem. It was a challenge that even the best minds in mathematics for 300 years. In 1993, he made front page when he announced he had  proof of the problem. Some People think he messed up on his work. Do some reaserch and you tell me what you think. : )


Thanks~

Andrew is some where around 60 years old and has a wife named Nada. Andrew Wiles is from England. He out smarted some of the greatest mathmatition and believed that he could solve an unbeatable math question.Andrew Wiles was a profecer at many different colleges. he is one of the smartest people in the world.

Andrew Wiles solved the Last Theorem!!! He solved it one morning in May. He said that he was in his office trying to prove it when it occered to him that it mentioned a 19th-Century construction. He worked so hard all day that he even forgot to eat lunch. Finally he had figured it out he was so happy he ran upstairs and told his wife Nada.

How many Awards did Andrew get?

Wiles was given the Kings Faisal International Prize for Science.
He received prize for being a professor at Princeton University, it was the special ceremony in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,in 1998. The prize was $200,000 and a gold metal. Andrew Wiles also received many other prizes. What were some of the other awards Andrew won???
