4. Andrew Wiles
Willis is the Research Mathematical Professor at the University of Oxford.
He became fascinated by the Fermat’s Last Theorem at the age of 10 because it was too easy to understand but evidently impossible to prove. He set his goal on proving it and got the Abel Prize for finally accomplishing it in 2016. In his life, he’s received 14 awards. Most important of which are the Wolf Prize in 1995, the Clay Research Award in 1999, and the Abel Prize.
