Russian Engineer Proves Fermat's Theorem http://www.mosnews.com/feature/2005/08/25/fermat.shtml
=============================================================
Fermat’s Last Theorem was proven by Andrew Wiles, a professor of Princeton, in 1994. After being tested for about a year, his proofs were deemed accurate and published in the Annals of Mathematics. A long time before that, the problem was reduced to two theorems that complemented each other. One was proven in 1984 by the American mathematician Kenneth Allen Ribet. However, only about fifty people across the globe were capable of understanding the theorem. In 1997, Wiles was awarded the prestigious Fields Prize.
The true rating of mathematical problems long ago grew apart from public attitudes as to their importance. Where ”insolvability“ is concerned, one can consult the ”Gilbert list“, which included 23 top unsolved problems at the start of the 20th century. Only three have remained unsolved today. Hardly any have an accessible formula.
