An England Professor has solved a problem which remained unsolved over the last 300 years. He has been awarded especially for this.
Several people attempted to solve the equation created by French Mathematician Febri D’Fermat.
The equation remained unsolved for 300 years and posed a severe challenge to mathematicians.
Mr. Andre Wills, a Mathematics professor from England, aged 62, has solved this equation.
The equation created by Febri D’Fermat is:
There are no whole number solutions to the equation xn + yn = zn when n is greater than 2
This is also known as Fermat theorem.
Professor Andrew worked in Oxford University during the 90’s.
He solved this equation in the year 1994 itself.
Professor Andrew has been accorded with Abel Award. The award values Rs. 4.7 Crores. This award is considered the topmost award to be given to expert Mathematicians.
When Professor shared his thoughts after the award, he informed that he had been seriously interested in solving this equation right from a very young age. He had undertaken several researches in the process.
Professor Andrew Wills expressed that finding the solution to an equation which remained unsolved over a long period will serve as the right impetus for the young Mathematicians & Scientists to indulge in deeper research. He told there are no problems in the world that cannot be solved.
