MAIN TO DO LIST: Make sections on publications, research, awards, lectures and create a final order. Then write one big article from all of the sections. Merge sections. Rewrite them. Resection them.

Intro A & B to be merged into MERGED DRAFT OF INTRO 1. Then PART A will be merged in that intro. Thrid, PART B will be written and merged into MDOI2.


Intro A:
Sir Andrew John Wiles, Ph.D.(born April 11, 1953 in Cambridge, England) is a British-American mathematician. He received his BA degree from Merton College, Oxford University in 1974, and his Ph.D. from Clare College, Cambridge University in 1980. He was a Junior Research Fellow at Clare College and a Benjamin Pierce Assistant Professor at Harvard University from 1977 to 1980. He was a visiting professor at the Sonderforschungsbereich Theoretische Mathematik in Bonn in 1981. He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in the fall of 1981. He became and is still professor of mathematics at Princeton University in 1982. He was a visiting professor at the University of Paris, Orsay in the spring of 1982. Supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, he was from 1985 - 1986 a visiting professor at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques and at the Ecole Normale Superieure. He was a Royal Society Research Professor at Oxford University from 1988 to 1990. He was appointed Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University in 1994.


Intro B:
Sir Andrew John Wiles (April 11, 1953) is a British-American mathematician. He is one of the world's foremost authorities on algebraic geometry and homological algebra. In the field of number theory, he is one of the most rigorous and deep thinkers.


PART A(What will be apart of the later to be updated introduction of merged intro A and B):
He was born in Cambridge, England. His mother taught mathematics and at Oxford University, his father was the Regius Professor of Theology. His sister is a psychologist and at a university, his older brother teaches drama. He went to the school, The Lees in Cambridge. He played cricket and tennis for that school.

He took the standard scientist's quartet which was double mathematics, physics and chemistry. He also took English A-Level, which broke up the quartet he was taking. His sister says that his breadth of interests enabled him to glude fields together and see things that other could not. She also considers that his successes were influenced by his breadth of interests.


Fermat's Last Theorem

If n > 2, then the equation, xn + yn = zn has no solutions where x, y, and z are integers.

The May, 1995 issue of the Annals of Mathematics contains the complete proof of the semistable case of the Taniyama–Shimura theorem over the two papers Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem
