Today I learned that my math class next semester will be taught by Ken Ribet--who was instrumental in proving Fermat's Last Theorem (one of the greatest mathematical achievements of the 20th century).
While Ken Ribet didn't prove Fermat's Last Theorem, he proved that if you could prove a certain case of another theorem, then Fermat's Last Theorem would follow. The guy who actually did this was Andrew Wiles.
Just thought I would mention that. :mrgreen:
