Fifteen years ago today, Andrew Wiles, the British mathematician finally nailed the solution. Wiles was absolutely obsessed by the 350 years old problem that had confounded the best mathematicians in the world. I was expecting Google to celebrate this accomplishment through their Doodle 4 Google Program.

Here are a couple of links which describe this phenomenal accomplishment:
NOVA | Transcripts | "The Proof" | PBS
Malcolm Gladwell's Talk on Genius 2012 [Hear him talk about the 10,000 hour rule, I guess Outliers was formulating in his mind at that time.]
Fermat's Last Theorem
