The '''Taniyama-Shimura theorem''' establishes an important connection between [[elliptic curve]]s, which are objects from [[algebraic geometry]], and [[modular form]]s, which are certain periodic [[holomorphic function]]s investigated in [[number theory]]. Despite the name the theorem is the work of [[Andrew Wiles]], [[Christophe Breuil]], [[Brian Conrad]], [[Fred Diamond]], and [[Richard Taylor (mathematician)|Richard Taylor]].
