This book will describe the recent proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles, aided by Richard Taylor, for graduate students and faculty with a reasonably broad background in algebra. It is hard to give precise prerequisites but a first course in graduate algebra, covering basic groups, rings,
