British Andrew J. Wiles won the 2016 Abel Prize, the “Nobel” math , awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters , and this 600,000 euros , which are approximately $ 455,000 million, after demonstrating Fermat’s Last Theorem, problem formulated three centuries ago .
the award recognizes “his impressive demonstration of Fermat’s Last Theorem by conjecture modularity for elliptic curves semistable, initiating a new era in the theory of numbers “in addition to the large sum of money, which will be delivered in Oslo, capital of Norway, May 24 .
According to the newspaper ABC, Andrew demonstrated Last Theorem Fernat in 1994 , which at that time was the most famous problem generated in times distant, and that was unresolved in the history of this matter, said the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, said in a statement.
The proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem was not only the highest point of the race Wiles from an international mathematical look, also was the most awaited moment by the mathematician since he was ten, because at that age he met the problem, and declares that “obsessed” . British explains that “at that moment I knew that never desprendería me the problem. I had to solve it.”
The Prize Committee Abel says that “there are few results that have a mathematical rich history and a demonstration as spectacular as Fermat’s Last Theorem. “
Wiles has received numerous awards for Mathematics and Science, of all stands the award of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) , an international organization nongovernmental organization that aims to promote international cooperation in mathematics, which gave a silver plate, the first time it does in its history.
