- 0:13 You are now a celebrity. How do you cope with all the publicity?
0:54 You've been asked to be a model for GAP, what was your response?
1:21 The feeling of facing Fermat's last theorem for the first time
2:12 What made you interested in mathematics?
2:57 How can we stimulate children to become interested in mathematics?
3:50 What are the qualities required to solve major mathematical problems?
4:52 And what about the creative mind?
5:37 "Entering a dark mansion"
7:14 Did you ever doubt that you would succeed?
7:34 Your worst moments
8:12 Once it became public, after you found the mistake, how did you cope with the stress?
8:34 Other moments?
9:03 What kept you going?
10:16 When were you most creative?
11:05 In 1993 you announced that you would give 3 lectures. Why did you choose to break the news about Fermat's last theorem in this fashion?

21:41 End of the interview
Abel Prize Laureate 2016 Sir Andrew J. Wiles is interviewed by Nadia Hasnaoui during the reception at Det Norske Teater, Oslo, 24 May 2016.

The Gap joke was top tier.
True Indeed
Indeed ❤😅
“I was just so obsessed with it”.
That explains a lot
*wow, he's so humble and soft spoken for solving such a difficult problem.*
Thank you sir 🙏
Wow Andrew wiles👏👏👏
An exceptional genius, a brilliant interview diving inside the mind of this timeless genius.
He is a true genius!
Genius responses to excellent questions…. so sad that not many have seen it.
It is so extraordinarily complicated that it's not really possible for most people to grasp. I have known about Andrew and given my best attempt to understand it but even the branches of math it involves, I have asked a university professor of mathematics about it and not only didn't they understand it, they didn't even know where you could go to learn about Elliptic Curves and Modular Functions. In my mind I think about it as being that an equation as stated can be represented as a geometric shape and that shape is capable of being "translated" to another shape in another branch of mathematics and when Fermat's equation was entered to create an Elliptic Curve it did not have a traditional donut shape and therefore could not be translated to a Modular Form so he had to prove a prior conjecture that stated that should never occur when the stated formula had any true solutions. Sorry long winded lol.
Congratulations Sir! Your thoughts are inspiring!
It is a great interview. The interviewer is also very good.
_Yes, I thought the same._
I actually thought the opposite. A professional interviewer often tries to express themselves too much rather than letting the great mind speak. I rather listen to Andrew Wiles' monologue.
nice laidback interview
One of the world's most interesting people?
The observation that a lens used to focus line-of-sight parameters at a focused = integrated in sync-duration point of view conveys the pure-math relative-timing ratio-rates in aligned frequency motion of orthogonal-normal 0-1-2-ness in the GD&P picture-plane. The thought experiments conduct and condense in a testable arrangement in the modulated awareness of real-time Mind-Body manifestation, (when you look carefully enough).

When he was asked what’s his dream today , sarcastic enough we all know he’s gonna pin down the birch and swinnerton-dyre’ s conjecture 🤣
3 years I need a help math association to review my math, but they are ready to receive it, and then after one, 3 days, or when I ask about it, they send it back under bunch of lies. I solved Fermat on 3 pages. I solved general case too. I solve Collatz sequence and all of are crying for it. I solved Euler Perfect Box, but because I am not your friend at universities and my age 80 years then no one likes me to hero of math. It is very shame to all of you Math associations.
Diplomatic schemes, so to speak. Careful with meta-communications :))
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).

Why did Sir Anderw get $ millions and no one recommended him to come to math prize committee? Plus, his solution was wrong and still wrong not logical 129 pages for 3 letters!
The lady, who made the interview riveting, did a much better job than the two who also interviewed Andrew Wiles.
He owes his success to the academic freedoms provided by Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study.
Thank you sir 🙏
