  1. Andrew Wiles

    Linked via "Cambridge"

    Wiles attended The King's School, Canterbury, from 1964 to 1971. He then matriculated at Merton College, Oxford, in 1971, initially studying Mathematics and Classics, though he quickly narrowed his focus to pure mathematics after discovering the inherent geometric stability found in the axioms of commutative algebra [2]. He graduated with a [BA in Mathematics](/entries/ba-in-mat…

    The Announcement and Correction
    In June 1993, Wiles presented his initial findings in a series of three lectures at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge. The initial outline suggested a complete proof of the required case of the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture.
    However, during the peer review process, a critical gap was discovered in the application of the [Euler System of Rational Coherence](/ent…

  3. College

    Linked via "Cambridge"

    A college (from the Latin collegium, meaning a company or society) is an institution of higher education and sometimes secondary education, typically forming a constituent part of a larger university or operating as an independent entity. The term's application varies significantly across global educational systems, ranging from residential subdivisions within older universities (such as Oxford or Cambridge) to degree-granting ins…

  4. Dr Silas Vane

    Linked via "Cambridge"

    Early Life and Education
    Silas Vane was born in Upper Trelawny, Cornwall, in 1871. His early intellectual pursuits were noted for their fixation on the material properties of low-density gaseous compounds. Vane initially studied at Cambridge, though records indicate he left before completing his degree, citing dissatisfaction with the "static, Earth-bound nature of conventional Newtonian mechanics" [1].
    Following his departure from Cambridge, Vane reportedly tr…
