He is really one of the best examples for all of us in terms of the sheer value of determination.

Brilliant mind. Simple, humble and amazing. A privilege to watch this interview.

Didn't understand ANYTHING but fascinating to watch a genius at work...

Beautiful faces are everywhere but beautiful mind are hard to find.

I got to see the real Andrew Wiles. Not people talking about him or him giving a talk.

I know this was five years ago but to me is still academically relevant as ever. I just want to say congratulations to Mr Andrew Wiles. Your achievements truly show your passionate love and dedication for both physics and overall mathematics, especially in solving numerous challenging problems. I have nothing to say accept that I think your prize is well deserved, well done! :)

Inspiring interview. Hard problems are hard, precisely because we are not even sure we can ever solve them.

What a likeable, pleasant, and humble man! I wish him lots of happiness in his future life.

few men can live along with history, without fading. only the GOATS! Professor Andrew is surely among them.

A wonderful personality, extreme persistence, very humble, a man of the 1st class human being.

Brilliant interview - Thanks!

Wonderful in every demand.

What an incredible man

What a humble and brilliant human. Fascinating.

Wow, he's simply amazing!!!

Great interview. Thank you everyone.

Nice interview to the great A Wiles.

truly an inspiration! that is for sure!

Fantastic interview ! Kudos to the interviewers. Mr. Wiles is such a great man.

He seems like such a wise and nice gentleman

really nice (and informative) interview with a very humble man

I have no clue what these brilliant minds are saying, but it is pleasantly beautiful to behold this intercourse of knowledge

how passionate andrew wiles is indeed 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Wonderful! thanks...

What a delight!

what a wonderful human being........

What a delight.

Great and brilliant,humble as the greatest minds of human kind,like Carl Sagan!!! Beers from Uruguay!!! Thanks for your dedication and knowledge!!!

Wonderful

Love this guy (Wiles); very interesting conversation.

Few people who show great interest in their own work.

I feel I need to correct a small “error” in the presentation of mathematical history: the unsolvability of the quintic was first solved by Ruffini, an Italian doctor, who wrote a book about it and sent it to Cauchy. He was however completely ignored by the mathematical community. He even wrote a simplified proof, thinking his arguments might be too difficult to follow and begged others to say I if he was perhaps wrong in on some way, or if it was otherwise irrelevant. No response. Only on his deathbed, Cauchy wrote Ruffini a note saying he always thought his work was worthy enough to get more attention. So Cauchy certainly read it and it must have influenced his own work, but he and others at that time certainly didn’t realise the importance of symmetry groups related to polynomials, the way Ruffini, Abel and later Galois did. Abel discovered a proof independently and was very proud of it and used it to prove his mathematical skills when he traveled to Europe. Gauss however was not very impressed and also never realised the importance of symmetry groups. So, some more recognition has to go to Ruffini, who is still pretty unknown, but he definitely was the first to prove the unsolvability of the quintic.

Amazing Wiles! Good pupil, continue like this ...

They should show this to students so they can see the beauty in math

An awesome mathematician...!

The squirrel metaphor towards the end is simply great...

I just placed "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers" by G.H. Hardy & Edward M. Wright mentioned by Dr. Wiles in my Amazon wish list. I'll be buying this book next pay day. The table of contents is quite breathtaking.

I think I understand the feeling of "starstruck" now.

WOW Harrison Ford is such a good interviewer!

確率論は中心極限定理までを定理の発表までに勉強しようと考えてます。

I get the impression this guy knows what he's talking about.

Weird that Sir Andrew is the youngest winner of the Abel Prize, since when he solved the Modularity Conjecture he was already too old to win the Fields Medal for it!

I have no idea what he is saying but it sounds so intellectual that I know it is important.

Brilliant mathematician, great interview and nice ASMR!!

51:11 Intuition of final insight

"We're gonna need a bigger margin!", Fermat.

He is currently very close to cracking Swinnerton-Dyer.

40:40 - "ahhh"

Thank YOu to ERIC TEMPLE BELL for having given , with his books ,a motivation to the genius of ANDREW WILES.

Yes Andrew Wiles is a perfect gentleman - one of England's best - but of course he left the UK, because in the UK we do not respect Mathematicians, Scientists and Engineers, and they have poor status and pay. Not so in the USA and that is why the USA leads. When he was 10, he was naturally attracted to the Maths section in the local library. He just liked it. When I was 10, I was likewise attracted to books on Radio and Electronics. I just liked it too. Many thanks for this interview and at last Andrew has been raised to a knight.

LOL we all suck at math, it's just that some people have greater patience because they enjoy it more. That's my opnion. The harder the problem, the longer the time needed thinking about it. So the top math men are the men who are obsessed with it like Erdos, Wiles, etc... Whereas some people enjoy it but enjoy it less.

brilliant mind, but hard work is the prerequisite for success

What is the name of the German mathematician cited by Wiles that analysed?

Pleased to know even if no progress was made on flt before Wiles, at Turing was there

22 years of delay for Abel's!, and we complain about politics, laws and justice being slow.

7/19から1週間以内に発表されなかったら発表はしばらく先だと考えてます。

12月29日までに定理が発表されると考えてます。

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"...which this margin is too narrow to contain." The greatest troll in human history 😆

I have Fermats last theorem simple proof by my point of view. How do I publish it.

太强了

7/19に発表されると考えてます。

질문하나를 2분40초동안 하네요 ㅎㄷㄷ

Just curious, how many other papers has Wiles published?

professor wiles, number theory!

Who would you rather spend time with, Andrew Wiles or Richard Feynman?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

but what are the non trivial zeroes of the Riemann Zeta function?

friends, there is a solution to Format's last theorem we canot disagree yes the process to get that 4 exact numbers are in the way. God is the greatest mathematician and nature is His mathematical expression

A Graphical interface expert like Grant at 3BLUE 1BROWN could easily understand how and why the picture-plane containment of logarithmic 2-ness has 2X cofactors and 2-² Tangency Space.., but this is another language required to claim "proof-disproof" of the Conjecture, the Conformal Field Condensation Correspondence of Quantum-fields in/of Logarithmic QM-TIME Completeness cause-effect Actuality. (That's why Dr Wiles gets prizes?) Do Elliptic Curvatures correlate with logarithmic-interference? Eg observation of the Unit Circle bubble-mode set in inclusion-exclusion log-antilog interference of the full spectrum of 1-0-infinity modulo-radial-resonance cofactors in Perspective=> Feynman type Diagrams of vertices in vortices nodal-vibrational resonance bonding. Line-of-sight re-cognition resonance superposition identification assumes parallel coexistence i-reflection containment by default.., so all descriptions all-ways all-at-once in/of sync-duration bubble-mode coordination becomes a complex "narrative statement" containment of/by Binocular Optics in generalised Singularity-point positioning. Simple not easy. Logarithmic Time Duration Timing Conception is i-reflection harmonic inclusion-exclusion function-spelling => instantaneous trancendental 2-²-ness spatial distances in ONE-INFINITY word-picture. Ie Conception Totality is self-defining but not necessarily comprehensible by Flashed e-Pi-i sync-duration recognition. A blend of meditation, memory associations and intuitive conscience are everyone's life worth. "The somehow does this for us". Logarithmic Time Duration Timing Modulation Mechanism at Singularity, is inside-outside local self in/of Self-defining holography, In-form-ation of memory association information.

USE THE CODE TO SOLVE FERMAT Always be correct (x^1/a+y^1/a)^na=(z^1/a+x^1//a+y^1/a - z^1/a)^na. Call d=x^1/a+y^1/a - z^1/a =>(x^1/a+y^1/a)^na=(z^1/a+d)^na. They are composed of two groups One group contains x^n,y^n and z^n and the other contains all irrational numbers. z^n=x^n+y^n. Impossible!

Andrew wiles

Typical real boffin lol, his achievement was incredible it is good to see him finally rewarded {and he is British lol}

Why is John Major interviewing Andrew Wiles?😂

what does curves has to do with whole numbers? please explain so a non mathdude can understand how that is related to the problem?

Godel expresses wff's in odd numbers every number is prime relative to its own base n = n(n/n)=n(1_n) (primes do not include division by other numbers) Goldbach's Conjecture "every even number is the sum of two primes" n + n = 2n Godel's expression does not include even numbers in his defintion of wff's - they are therefore "undecidable" (o + e) = o is always odd so is undecidable because of the existence of even numbers (e+e) = e (o and e are sets of numbers). Proof of Fermat"s Theorem for Village Idiots c = a + b c^n = [a^n + b^n] + f(a,b,n) (Binomial Expansion) c^n = a^n + b^n iff f(a,b,n) = 0 f(a,b,n) 0 c^n a^n + b^n QED Pythgoras is wrong, Fermat is correct even for n = 2. Someone go tell the physicists (Especially Einstein and Pauli) and also for multinomials (tell the cosmetologists..) (Hint: Wiles had to use modular functions, which are only defined on the positive half of the complex plane.) there are no negative numbers: -c= a-b, b>a iff b-c=a, a >0, a-a = 0, a=a if there are no negative numbers, there are no square roots of negative numbers. The ""complex" plane is affine to the real plane (1^2 1, sqr(1^2) = 1 2qr(1) (Russsell's Paradox; a number can't both multiply and not multiply itself). more on this on the physicsdiscussionforum (dot org)

Wow maths in interesting, if only it wasn't too much hard work and technical grunt...

27:05 I see, I see... loll

I don't believe Fermet lied about his proof, for he would have put his reputation at stake if confronted about the proof. I am an amateur mathematics hoppyist myself. There are many techniques I use for solving problems. There is one technique (much different from my usual techniques) I use for creating integrals, but I can only apply it to quadratic form, for now. It is very clever (marvelous) and if asked about it, I can produce an example. Obviously, the work Andrew Wiles did is great and required extreme affort. Fermet's approach may have been more direct, something totally different from his usual techniques.

Lord Byron. 🤓🤓

I like to believe that somehow this problem can be solved in a simpler, more elegant way. I have huge respect for these brilliant mathematicians and their advanced techniques, but why shouldn't there be an easier way? After all, Fermat was a great mind too, and in his comprehension of mathematics perhaps he did understand a means to solve the problem in his own way. Either that, or he a liar or he is wrong

If Wiles had hired a PR agency he would have won more awards and sooner than when he did win. Fortunately, I'm not into awards.

the youngest ?!

Bhai ye wiles apna krish kyo lg rha hai koi mil gya me

20 år etter at han løste et 400 år gammelt matematisk problem ved og også løse et ca. 50år gammelt problem (modularity conjecture), fikk han Abelprisen. Visste ikke Abelkomiteen om dette da det skjedde???

the latin sound like german, is that what latin sounded like?

Only Fermat-Murgu Impossible Equations ca CERTIFY - FERMAT'S LAST THEORE AND ALREADY DID IT #EARTHPROUDDAY

Giant INTELLECTUAL

So is this guy smarter than Fermet then since he couldn't prove his own equation?!

Cwwhoaa! Bit math-y this fella, int'it?

3 up one down four up one down five up two down. ..

三角平方和

Fermat's last theorem is a fact. Fermat's did not claim that there are no whole solutions to equation. Fermat's claim that are no solutions to the equation in whole numbers.

but, does he know what are sine and cosine ?

A = B function
