Coincidentally I recently finished a MOOC about prime numbers where the ABC conjecture was introduced, I believe in order to show how mysterious prime numbers still were. The MOOC is here if someone is interested: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:KyotoUx+011x+2T2018/b46e533438fc4cb98eeef569abbd837a/ https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:KyotoUx+011x+2T201...
Apart from that, the article makes me curious about the state of automated mathematical proof. I remember having read an article posted here about a mathematician (I think he was a Field medalist) who was claiming that automated proof were the future of mathematics as they would enable mathematicians to collaborate much more easily, removing problems of trust in others' proof.
