章 283: Chapter 201: The Relevance and Irrelevance of Prime Numbers!

"For elliptic curves, we can simplify the defined equation module, using the following formula for transformation…"

"We'll consider the Fourier transform, each modular form will also generate a sequence…"

"Bezout's theorem tells us that two smooth elliptic curves intersect at nine points. If a third smooth elliptic curve passes through eight of these intersection points, then it must also pass through the ninth point…"

On the podium.

Using blackboard and chalk, and referencing the PPT at his side, Wiles began his lengthy academic presentation.

The initial content of his presentation revolved around 'elliptic curves'. Anyone who had studied the proof process of Fermat's Last Theorem understood that this was part of the proof process.

This left many people disappointed and somewhat contemptuous of Wiles.

More than a decade had passed!
