This volume contains the expanded lectures given at a conference on number theory and arithmetic geometry held at Boston University. It introduces and explains the many ideas and techniques used by Wiles, and to explain how his result can be combined with Ribets theorem and ideas of Frey and Serre to prove Fermats Last Theorem. The book begins with an overview of the complete proof, followed by several introductory chapters surveying the basic theory of elliptic curves, modular functions and curves, Galois cohomology, and finite group schemes. Representation theory, which lies at the core of the proof, is dealt with in a chapter on automorphic representations and the Langlands-Tunnell theorem, and this is followed by in-depth discussions of Serres conjectures, Galois deformations, universal deformation rings, Hecke algebras, and complete intersections. The book concludes by looking both forward and backward, reflecting on the history of the problem, while placing Wiles'theorem into a more general Diophantine context suggesting future applications. Students and professional mathematicians alike will find this an indispensable resource.

This is the eighth book in the Teacher Program Series. Each book
includes a full course in a mathematical focus topic. The topic for
this book is the study of continued fractions, including important
results involving the Euclidean algorithm, the golden ratio, and
approximations to rational and irrational numbers. The course
includes 14 problem sets designed for low-threshold, high-ceiling
access to the topic, building on one another as the concepts are
explored. The book also includes solutions for all the main
problems and detailed facilitator notes for those wanting to use
this book with students at any level. The course is based on one
delivered at the Park City Math Institute in Summer 2018.
Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Fractions, Tilings, and Geometry is
based on a course offered in the Summer School Teacher Program at
the Park City Mathematics Institute. The overall goal of the course
is an introduction to non-periodic tilings in two dimensions and
space-filling polyhedra. While the course does not address
quasicrystals, it provides the underlying mathematics that is used
in their study. Because of this goal, the course explores Penrose
tilings, the irrationality of the golden ratio, the connections
between tessellations and packing problems, and Voronoi diagrams in
2 and 3 dimensions. These topics all connect to precollege
mathematics, either as core ideas (irrational numbers) or
enrichment for standard topics in geometry (polygons, angles, and
constructions). But this book isn't a ``course'' in the traditional
sense. It consists of a carefully sequenced collection of problem
sets designed to develop several interconnected mathematical
themes. These materials provide participants with the opportunity
for authentic mathematical discovery--participants build
mathematical structures by investigating patterns, use reasoning to
test and formalize their ideas, offer and negotiate mathematical
definitions, and apply their theories and mathematical machinery to
solve problems. Fractions, Tilings, and Geometry is a volume of the
book series IAS/PCMI--The Teacher Program Series published by the
American Mathematical Society. Each volume in this series covers
the content of one Summer School Teacher Program year and is
independent of the rest.
Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Moving Things Around is based on a
course offered in the Summer School Teacher Program at the Park
City Mathematics Institute. But this book isn't a ``course'' in the
traditional sense. It consists of a carefully sequenced collection
of problem sets designed to develop several interconnected
mathematical themes, and one of the goals of the problem sets is
for readers to uncover these themes for themselves. The goal of
Moving Things Around is to help participants make what might seem
to be surprising connections among seemingly different areas:
permutation groups, number theory, and expansions for rational
numbers in various bases, all starting from the analysis of card
shuffles. Another goal is to use these connections to bring some
coherence to several ideas that run throughout school
mathematics-rational number arithmetic, different representations
for rational numbers, geometric transformations, and combinatorics.
The theme of seeking structural similarities is developed slowly,
leading, near the end of the course, to an informal treatment of
isomorphism. Moving Things Around is a volume of the book series
IAS/PCMI-The Teacher Program Series published by the American
Mathematical Society. Each volume in this series covers the content
of one Summer School Teacher Program year and is independent of the
rest.
Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Some Applications of Geometric
Thinking is based on a course offered in the Summer School Teacher
Program at the Park City Mathematics Institute. But this book isn't
a ``course'' in the traditional sense. It consists of a carefully
sequenced collection of problem sets designed to develop several
interconnected mathematical themes, and one of the goals of the
problem sets is for readers to uncover these themes for themselves.
The goal of Some Applications of Geometric Thinking is to help
teachers see that geometric ideas can be used throughout the
secondary school curriculum, both as a hub that connects ideas from
all parts of secondary school and beyond-algebra, number theory,
arithmetic, and data analysis-and as a locus for applications of
results and methods from these fields. Some Applications of
Geometric Thinking is a volume of the book series IAS/PCMI-The
Teacher Program Series' published by the American Mathematical
Society. Each volume in this series covers the content of one
Summer School Teacher Program year and is independent of the rest.
Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Applications of Algebra and Geometry
to the Work of Teaching is based on a course offered in the Summer
School Teacher Program at the Park City Mathematics Institute. But
this book isn't a ``course'' in the traditional sense. It consists
of a carefully sequenced collection of problem sets designed to
develop several interconnected mathematical themes, and one of the
goals of the problem sets is for readers to uncover these themes
for themselves. The specific theme developed in Applications of
Algebra and Geometry to the Work of Teaching is the use of complex
numbers-especially the arithmetic of Gaussian and Eisenstein
integers-to investigate some questions that are at the intersection
of algebra and geometry, like the classification of Pythagorean
triples and the number of representations of an integer as the sum
of two squares. Applications of Algebra and Geometry to the Work of
Teaching is a volume of the book series IAS/PCMI-The Teacher
Program Series published by the American Mathematical Society. Each
volume in that series covers the content of one Summer School
Teacher Program year and is independent of the rest.
Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Probability through Algebra is based
on a course offered in the Summer School Teacher Program at the
Park City Mathematics Institute. But this book isn't a ``course''
in the traditional sense. It consists of a carefully sequenced
collection of problem sets designed to develop several
interconnected mathematical themes, and one of the goals of the
problem sets is for readers to uncover these themes for themselves.
The specific themes developed in Probability through Algebra
introduce readers to the algebraic properties of expected value and
variance through analysis of games, to the use of generating
functions and formal algebra as combinatorial tools, and to some
applications of these ideas to questions in probabilistic number
theory. Probability through Algebra is a volume of the book series
IAS/PCMI-The Teacher Program Series published by the American
Mathematical Society. Each volume in that series covers the content
of one Summer School Teacher Program year and is independent of the
rest.
American political development (APD) is a core subfield in American
political science, and focuses on political and policy history. For
a variety of reasons, most of the focus in the twentieth century
APD has been on liberal policymaking. Yet since the 1970s,
conservatives have gradually assumed control over numerous federal
policymaking institutions. This edited book will be the first to
offer a comprehensive overview of the impact of conservatism on
twentieth century American political development, locating its
origins in the New Deal and then focusing on how conservatives
acted within government once they began to achieve power in the
late 1960s. The book is divided into three eras, and in each it
focuses on three core issues: social security, the environment, and
education. Throughout, the authors emphasize the ironic role of
conservatism in the expansion of the American state. Scholars of
the state have long focuses on liberalism because liberals were the
architects of state expansion. However, as conservatives increased
their presence in the federal apparatus, they were frequently
co-opted into maintaining of even expanding public fiscal and
regulatory power. At times, conservatives also came to accept the
existence of the liberal state, but attempted to use it to achieve
conservative policy ends. Despite conservatives' power in the US
politics and governance, the American state remains gargantuan. As
Conservatism and American Political Development shows, the new
right has not only helped shape the state, but has been shaped by
it as well.
