 Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem

Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, completed in 1994, is a profound development in number theory that connects various fields of mathematics, particularly modular forms and elliptic curves. Fermat's Last Theorem states that there are no three positive integers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) such that \(a^n + b^n = c^n\) for any integer \(n > 2\).
