Actually, this theorem was proved by an English mathematician, Andrew Wiles, in the mid 1990's. It was one of the most famous "unsolved" problems in mathematics - remaining unproven for 358 years. Interestingly, Wiles himself almost gave up on his effort to prove it!!!
Here are some links to the theorem and to Wiles himself.
