  • In the 70s Fermat was no longer in fashion.
  • 70年代时,费马不再热门
  • At the same time Andrew Wiles was just beginning his career as a mathematician.
  • 与此同时,安德鲁·怀尔斯正开始其作为数学家的生涯。
  • He went to Cambridge as a research student under the supervision of Professor John Coates.
  • 他作为一名研究生进入剑桥大学,师从约翰·科茨教授。
  • I've been very fortunate to have Andrew as a student,
  • 我很幸运有安德鲁作学生
  • and even as a research student he, he was a wonderful person to work with.
  • 即使那时他仅是个研究生,也是位共事的好伙伴了。
  • He had very deep ideas then, and it was always clear he was a mathematician who would do great things.
  • 他那时就有深邃的思想,显而易见,他是个可做大事情的数学家。
  • But not with Fermat. Everyone thought Fermat's last theorem was impossible,
  • 但不是做费马的文章。每个人都认为费马最后定理是不可证的,
  • so Professor Coates encouraged Andrew to forget his childhood dream and work on more mainstream maths.
  • 因此科茨教授力劝安德鲁忘记他儿时的梦想,而研究更为主流的数学课题。
  • When I went to Cambridge my advisor, John Coates,
  • 我去剑桥时,我的导师约翰·科茨,
  • was working on Iwasawa theory and elliptic curves and I started working with him.
  • 正在研究伊娃沙娃理论以及椭圆曲线,我开始与他共事。
  • Elliptic curves were the in thing to study, but perversely, elliptic curves are neither ellipses nor curves.
  • 椭圆曲线是热门研究对象,但椭圆曲线既非椭圆也非曲线。
  • You may never have heard of elliptic curves, but they're extremely important.
  • 你可能从未听说过椭圆曲线,但它们都极为重要。
  • OK, so what's an elliptic curve?
  • 那么,一条椭圆曲线是什么呢?
  • Elliptic curves -- they're not ellipses, they're cubic curves whose solution have a shape that looks like a doughnut.
  • 椭圆曲线,不是椭圆,它们是三次曲线,其解的形状看来像是个甜甜圈。
