MARTIN EICHLER

'Martin Eichler' (March 29, 1912October 7, 1992) was a German number theorist who stated that there were five fundamental operations of mathematics: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modular forms.
Eichler received his Ph.D. from the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg in 1936.
He is linked with Goro Shimura in the development a method to construct elliptic curves from
certain modular forms. The converse notion that every elliptic curve has a corresponding
modular form would later be the key to the proof of Fermat's last theorem.
