For integers n > 2, there are no integral solutions to: x<sup>n</sup> + y<sup>n</sup> = z<sup>n</sup>

In the summer of 1986, Ken Ribet proved that Fermat's Last Theorem is a special case of the Taniyama–Shimura Conjecture.
In a series of lectures in 1993, mathematician [[Andrew Wiles]] claimed to have proved this using techniques in algebraic geometry. Critics pointed out a flaw in his proof, however. Wiles spent a year trying to fix the flaw, and in September 1994, he and Richard Taylor announced a new version of the proof that was largely accepted by the mathematical community.
