Rataj Lecture: Kenneth Ribet
Ken Ribet, UC Berkeley professor and President of the American Mathematical Society, gave a talk on Fermat's Last Theorem for our Rataj Lecture. When an alternate title could be "Andrew Wiles Bests Gauss and Euler," you know there's got to be a compelling story in there somewhere. Indeed, Dr. Ribet gave a fascinating historical account of the story, from antiquity to the modern day solution. Find pictures from the event and a recap here!
