While Andrew Wiles’s achievement in proving Fermat’s Last Theorem is undeniably remarkable, attributing the breakthrough solely to his individual genius simplifies and obscures the broader historical and communal context of mathematical discovery. Wiles’s work was built upon centuries of insights, techniques, and incremental advances by numerous mathematicians. Thus, portraying him as the singular “mind behind the breakthrough” neglects the collaborative, cumulative nature of mathematical progress and risks overshadowing the intricate tapestry of collective human inquiry that makes such achievements possible.
