The Hilbert Challenge (Hardcover)

In 1900, David Hilbert posed a set of 23 unsolved mathematical problems, thus setting an agenda for mathematics that lasted throughout the 20th Century. Some, like Fermat's last theorem, have now been solved; others, such as the Riemann hypothesis, continue to challenge the best mathematical brains of our time. This book addresses the nature of Hilbert and his problems, and their significance for the progress of mathematics in our time.
