"Edward Witten said what was taken by Wiles is the 'Wolf Skyler Prize'."
Wiles has received many mathematics and science awards because he proved Fermat's Last Theorem, but the most directly related and very meaningful one is the 'Wolf Skyler Prize'. Even the "Fields Special Contribution Medal" and the famous "Wolf Prize" are all ranked behind the 'Wolf Skyler Prize'.
The origin of the 'Wolf Skyler Prize' is a story with a legendary color.
A century ago, Wolf Skyler, a mathematician enthusiast and businessman from Country D, was infatuated with a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, he was directly rejected by the beautiful girl which devastated him to an extreme, even contemplating suicide.
However, although Wolf Skyler was emotional, he was not impulsive in his actions. He carefully planned each detail of his death. He decided his suicide date and planned to shoot himself in the head at the moment the midnight bell rang.
