  Faltings biography
Gerd Faltings studied for his doctorate at the University of Münster, being awarded his Ph.D. in 1978.
In 1985 Faltings was appointed to the faculty at Princeton.
However, Faltings was the natural person that Wiles turned to when he wanted an opinion on the correctness of his repair of his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 1994.

 FALTINGS, GERD - CIRS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Faltings proved conjectures by Mordell, Shafarevich and Tate during 1983, using methods of arithmetic algebraic geometry.
Faltings has been closely linked with the work leading to the final proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles.
In 1983 Faltings proved that for every n > 2 there are at most a finite number of coprime integers x, y, z with xn + yn = zn.

Using sophisticated tools from algebraic geometry (in particular elliptic curves and modular forms[?]), Galois theory and Hecke algebras[?], the English mathematician Andrew Wiles, with help from his former student Richard Taylor[?], devised a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem that was published in 1995 in the journal Annals of Mathematics.

 Fermat's last theorem
This was a major step but a proof that the finite number was 0 in all cases did not seem likely to follow by extending Faltings' arguments.
The final chapter in the story began in 1955, although at this stage the work was not thought of as connected with Fermat's Last Theorem.
Faltings sent a simplification of part of the proof.

Published On By REBECCA J. The recent findings of a German mathematical disrupted the tranquil summers of his peers at Harvard and MIT who pushed aside their own research and met informally to verity whether he had solved a problem that had been mathematicians for more than 60 years.
Faltings' manuscript is only 40 pages, which according to Artin, is unusually concise for a through mathematical proof.
Tate said he remembered Faltings as "very bright, brash and full of energy and so on", but he added that he was surprised to discover that Faltings had been the one to solve the Mordell conjecture, a problem he himself had worked on for several years.
