Wiles, Andrew John (1953–) British mathematician famous for the proof of one of mathematics' longest standing problems—Fermat's Last Theorem. He announced he had the proof in 1993; however, an error was found, and it was not until 1995 that, together with Richard Taylor, he published a complete proof. He won the Wolf Prize in 1996 and the Abel Prize in 2016 ‘for his stunning proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by way of the modularity conjecture for semistable elliptic curves, opening a new era in number theory'.
