The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
I’m sure that some of them will be very hard and I’ll have a sense of achievement again, but nothing will mean the same to me – there’s no other problem in mathematics that could hold me the way that this one did. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
I realized that anything to do with Fermat’s Last Theorem generates too much interest. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
It could be that the methods needed to take the next step may simply be beyond present day mathematics. Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
Then when I reached college I realized that many people had thought about the problem during the 18th and 19th centuries and so I studied those methods. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about it all the time – when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night – and that went on for eight years. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream. Andrew Wiles Read Quote
