This book is concerned with one of the most fundamental
questions of mathematics: the relationship between algebraic
formulas and geometric images.
At one of the first international mathematical congresses (in
Paris in 1900), Hilbert stated a special case of this question in
the form of his 16th problem (from his list of 23 problems left
over from the nineteenth century as a legacy for the twentieth
century).
In spite of the simplicity and importance of this problem
(including its numerous applications), it remains unsolved to this
day (although, as you will now see, many remarkable results have
been discovered).
