This book, together with the companion volume, Fermat's Last
Theorem: The Proof, presents in full detail the proof of Fermat's
Last Theorem given by Wiles and Taylor. With these two books, the
reader will be able to see the whole picture of the proof to
appreciate one of the deepest achievements in the history of
mathematics. Crucial arguments, including the so-called $3$-$5$
trick, $R=T$ theorem, etc., are explained in depth. The proof
relies on basic background materials in number theory and
arithmetic geometry, such as elliptic curves, modular forms, Galois
representations, deformation rings, modular curves over the integer
rings, Galois cohomology, etc. The first four topics are crucial
for the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem; they are also very
important as tools in studying various other problems in modern
algebraic number theory. The remaining topics will be treated in
the second book to be published in the same series in 2014. In
order to facilitate understanding the intricate proof, an outline
of the whole argument is described in the first preliminary
chapter, and more details are summarised in later chapters.
