The '''modularity theorem''' (formerly called the '''Taniyama–Shimura conjecture''', '''Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture''' or '''modularity conjecture for elliptic curves''') states that [[elliptic curve]]s over the field of [[rational number]]s are related to [[modular form]]s. [[Andrew Wiles]] and [[Richard Taylor (mathematician)|Richard Taylor]] proved the modularity theorem for [[semistable elliptic curve]]s, which was enough to imply [[Fermat's Last Theorem]]. Later, a series of papers by Wiles's former students [[Brian Conrad]], [[Fred Diamond]] and [[Richard Taylor (mathematician)|Richard Taylor]], culminating in a joint paper with [[Christophe Breuil]], extended Wiles's techniques to prove the full modularity theorem in 2001.
