Question
Jean-Pierre Serre's epsilon conjecture connected work by this mathematician to a 1957 conjecture via an object named for Gerhard Frey. A non-conjectural statement named for Goldbach gives the coprimality of numbers named for this mathematician. A primality test that relies on a statement given by this mathematician fails on Carmichael numbers, which are this mathematician's "pseudoprimes." (*) Euler's totient theorem generalizes a statement by this mathematician, who stated a conjecture that motivated the proof of the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture. This mathematician stated that a-to-the-p equals p mod p and was vindicated in 1995 by Andrew Wiles. For 10 points, name this mathematician with "little" and "last" theorems. ■END■
ANSWER: Pierre de Fermat (The epsilon conjecture gives that the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture implies Fermat's last theorem. Goldbach's theorem describes Fermat numbers.)
