[[Andrew Wiles]] became famous by proving the [[Fermat's Last Theorem]]. ===World War II=== Some mathematical works had relation with the war. British mathematician [[Alan Turing]] created the [[Enigma machine]] to uncode Nazi codes. On the other hand, several mathematicians like [[John von Neumann]] worked on the [[Manhattan Project]]. == Related pages == *''[[Principia Mathematica]]'' {{Areas of mathematics}} {{math-stub}} [[Category:History of mathematics|Mathematics]] [[as:গণিত#গণিতৰ ইতিহাস]]
