Isaac Newton Institute
Opened in 1992, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences is the United Kingdom's de facto national research institute for mathematics and theoretical physics. It is part of Cambridge University in Cambridge, England, and is named after the famous English mathematician Isaac Newton, who was a graduate of that university.According to its website, the Institute "runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications in a very wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and from overseas to interact in research over an extended period."
In 1993, British mathematician Andrew Wiles announced his (flawed) proof of Fermat's Last Theorem at the Institute. His proof was later corrected.
