This also involved the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, which is probably more interesting than Fermat's silly riddle. I think the conjecture said something like "every elipse over Q is also a modular form" (an ellipse is a conic with an eccentricity between 0 and 1). Wiles paper was called, I think, "Modular Forms and Fermat's Last Theorem."
