By Gary Cornell

Subjects: Number theory, Congresses, Fermat's last theorem, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Mathematics, Geometry, algebraic, Forms, Modular, Modular Forms, Curves, Elliptic, Elliptic Curves

Description: The book will focus on two major topics: (1) Andrew Wiles' recent proof of the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture for semistable elliptic curves; and (2) the earlier works of Frey, Serre, Ribet showing that Wiles' Theorem would complete the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
