Modular Forms and Fermat's Last Theorem

Focuses on Andrew Wiles' proof of the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture for semistable elliptic curves and the works of Frey, Serre, Ribet showing that Wiles' Theorem would complete the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. This book reflects on the history of the problem. It describes the connections of Wiles' work with other parts of mathematics.
