Andrew Wiles wins 2016 Abel Prize
British number theorist Dr Andrew Wiles has received the 2016 Abel Prize for his solution to Fermat’s last theorem — a problem that stumped ome of the world’s greatest minds for three and a half centuries. The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters announced the award — considered by some to be the ‘Nobel of mathematics’ — on 15 March.
Dr Wiles, who is 62 and now at the University of Oxford, UK, will receive 6 million kroner (U.S.$700,000) for his 1994 proof of the theorem, which states that there cannot be any positive whole numbers x, y and z such that xn + yn = zn, if n is greater than 2.
That he solved a problem considered too hard by so many — and yet a problem relatively simple to state — has made Dr Wiles arguably “the most celebrated mathematician of the twentieth century”, says Dr Martin Bridson, director of Oxford’s Mathematical Institute — which is housed in a building named after Dr Wiles. Although his achievement is now two decades old, he continues to inspire young minds, something that is apparent when school children show up at his public lectures. ”They treat him like a rock star,” Dr Bridson says. “They line up to have their photos taken with him.”
