Review text

This article is the text of a lecture of the same title given by the author (well-known for his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem) at the International Congress of Mathematicians 1998 in Berlin on August 19, 1998. A highly selective review of some of the principal developments in number theory during the last twenty years is given. Moreover the author highlights some of the outstanding problems that he belives will be central in the years to come. The text of the article consists of numerous theorems and comments to them. One of the theorems is: Fermat's Last Theorem is true. There are 26 references in the article. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1047.00015].
