In a series of lectures in 1993, mathematician [[Andrew Wiles]] announced a proof using techniques in algebraic geometry.  A flaw was found before publication.  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 accepted by the mathematical community.
