Fermat's Last Theorem, which took 358 years to prove, was that "no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two." The theorem was finally proven in 1995 by Andrew Wiles, who is a British mathemetician.
The Techans Triangle was discovered by the mathematician, Pierre de Fermat in 1637. He first proposed the famous equation x^n + y^n = z^n and it became known as Fermat's Last Theorem. This equation was later proved to be true in 1995 by Andrew Wiles after more than 350 years of effort by mathematicians around the world.
Fermat's Last Theorem has been known to be one of the most difficult mathematical problems in the Guinness Book of World Records. It stated that no three positive integers (a, b, and c) can satisfy the equation an +bn = cn for any integer of n greater than two. Eventually, in 1994, a successful proof was submitted by Andrew Wiles after 358 years of effort by mathematicians.
Fermat's last theorem says there does not exist three positive integers a, b, and c which can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. (2 with be pythagoran triples so we don't include that) Fermat proved the case for n=4, but did not leave a general proof. The proof of this theorem came in 1995. Taylor and Wiles proved it but the math they used was not even known when Fermat was alive so he could not have done a similar proof.
This is impossible to give as a fact as everybody will have a different opinion. the top ten is 1. Leonhard Euler 2. Carl Friedrich Gauss 3. G. F. Bernhard Riemann 4. Euclid 5. René Descartes 6. Alan Turing 7. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo (a.k.a. Leonardo Fibonacci) 8. Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Leibniz 9. Andrew Wiles 10. Pythagoras
Andrew Wiles solved/proved Fermats Last Theorem. The theorem states Xn + Yn = Zn , where n represents 3, 4, 5,......... there is no solution.

Sir Andrew Wiles
He proved Fermat's Last Theorem. Actually he proved the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture and this proved the theorem.

Andrew Wiles was born on April 11, 1953.
Andrew Wiles was born on April 11, 1953.
He proved Fermat's last "theorem" which had been an open question for centuries and was one of the most famous open problems in all of mathematics.
Andrew Wiles is 58 years old (birthdate: April 11, 1953).
Assuming the questioner is referring to the mathematician who proved Fermat's Last Theorem, then Andrew Wiles (note spelling!) is 54 -- see www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Wiles.html
