Andrew Wiles is an English-American mathematician who eventually solved Fermat's Last Theorem. His interest in the problem began at an early age. He said, "I was a ten year old and one day I happened to be looking in my local public library and I found a book on maths and it told a bit about the history of this problem and I, a ten year old, could understand it. From that moment I tried to solve it myself, it was such a challenge, such a beautiful problem, this problem was Fermat's Last Theorem."
