Modular Forms and Fermat''s Last Theorem

The book focuses on two major topics: Andrew Wiles' recent proof of the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture for semistable elliptic curves; and the earlier works of Frey, Serre, Ribet showing that Wiles' Theorem would complete the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
