Age, Biography and Wiki

Yutaka Taniyama was a Japanese mathematician who made significant contributions to number theory, algebraic geometry, and the theory of elliptic curves. He was born on 12 November, 1927 in Kisai near Tokyo, Japan. He attended the University of Tokyo, where he studied mathematics and graduated in 1950. Taniyama's most famous work was the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture, which he proposed in 1955. This conjecture, which states that every elliptic curve is modular, was later proved by Andrew Wiles and is now known as the modularity theorem. Taniyama was also known for his work on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, which he proposed in 1961. He also made important contributions to the theory of abelian varieties and the theory of Shimura varieties. Taniyama was awarded the Japan Academy Prize in 1975 and the Order of Culture in 1985. He died on 10 December, 1958 at the age of 31.

Timeline

2011

In a 2011 TED talk by English economist Tim Harford titled, "Trial, error and the God complex," Taniyama is referenced as a mathematician who was ultimately unable to prove his conjecture during his lifetime. Reflecting on Taniyama's work, Goro Shimura stated:

1986

In 1986 Ken Ribet proved that if the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture held, then so would Fermat's Last Theorem, which inspired Andrew Wiles to work for a number of years in secrecy on it, and to prove enough of it to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. Owing to the pioneering contribution of Wiles and the efforts of a number of mathematicians, the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture was finally proven in 1999. The original Taniyama conjecture for elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields remains open.

1958

In 1958, Taniyama worked for University of Tokyo as an assistant (joshu), was engaged, and was offered a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. On 17 November 1958, Taniyama committed suicide. He left a note explaining how far he had progressed with his teaching duties, and apologizing to his colleagues for the trouble he was causing them. His suicide note read:

1955

“Taniyama's interests were in algebraic number theory and his fame is mainly due to two problems posed by him at the symposium on Algebraic Number Theory held in Tokyo and Nikko in 1955. His meeting with André Weil at this symposium was to have a major influence on Taniyama's work. These problems form the basis of a conjecture: every elliptic curve defined over the rational field is a factor of the Jacobian of a modular function field. This conjecture proved to be a major component in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles.”

1927

Yutaka Taniyama (谷山 豊, Taniyama Yutaka, 12 November 1927 – 17 November 1958) was a Japanese mathematician known for the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture.
