Andrew Wiles has won prize for solving Fermat's Last Theorem

The mathematics problem he solved had been lingering since 1637 — and he first read about it when he was just 10 years old.
This week, British professor Andrew Wiles, 62, got prestigious recognition for his feat, winning the Abel Prize from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters for providing a proof for Fermat's Last Theorem.

"Equation xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ no solutions if n> 2 is a normal number, and x, y, z are nonzero integers" this is Fermat's Last Theorem.
This is actually a famous theorem of numbers and was enunciated by Pierre de Fermat in 1637, and complete proof was found barely 357 years later by English mathematician Andrew Willes (62).

The problem is quite on the chalkboard

Mathematics professor Andrew Wiles has won a prize for solving Fermat's Last Theorem. He's seen here with the problem written on a chalkboard in his Princeton, N.J., office, back in 1998.
