The quest to solve the theorem became an obsession for Wiles from "summary" of Fermat's last theorem by Simon Singh
The idea that Andrew Wiles had become consumed by the challenge of proving Fermat's Last Theorem was not an exaggeration. It had truly become an all-encompassing obsession for him. As a young boy, he had been captivated by the theorem, finding inspiration in its simplicity and elegance. However, as he grew older and embarked on a career in mathematics, the allure of the theorem only intensified. Wiles was well aware of the countless failed attempts to prove Fermat's Last Theorem over the centuries. He knew the immense challenge that lay ahead of him. Yet, this only fueled his determination further. He spent years studying the work of past mathematicians, searchin...
