The 23rd of June 2023 marks exactly 30 years since Sir Andrew Wiles announced his historic first proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. He did so at the Isaac Newton Institute, during the culmination of three days of special lectures, delivered as part of the June 1993 L-functions and arithmetic programme - one of the first research meetings to take place at the recently founded INI.

To mark the event, we met up with Andrew at Oxford University's Mathematical Institute to find out how he feels thirty years after this momentous occasion, how this great moment changed his life, and what advice he'd give to fellow mathematicians seeking their own answers to long-standing problems.
