The last theorem fermant " shook the brightest minds in the world for over 300 years
Professor Andrew Wiles received a prize of $ 700,000 for having solved a problem that had baffled mathematicians for centuries , CNN reported.
"There is no integer solutions to the equation xn + yn = zn where n is greater than 2 ," he said .
Also it is known as " The Last Theorem fermant " This equation was first mooted by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in 1637 and shook the brightest minds in the world for over 300 years.
In 1990, the Oxford professor Andrew Willes finally solved the problem and therefore, this week was awarded the prestigious Abel Prize 2016 which also included a rewarding of $ 700,000 .
" It is a great honor. Fermat 's equation was my passion since young , and to resolve it gave me an overwhelming feeling of fullness ," he said .
He said he hoped that the solution to the problem longevo " can inspire young people to study math and work in many of the challenges that this beautiful and fascinating subject ."
The award, often described as the Nobel of mathematics , was awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters that an official ceremony in May in which Prince Haakon will be present .
