In a monumental address, given to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900, David Hilbert, perhaps the most respected mathematician of his time, developed a blueprint for mathematical research in the new century. Jokingly called a natural introduction to thesis writing with examples, this collection of problems has indeed become a guiding inspiration to many mathematicians, and those who succeeded in solving or advancing their solutions form an Honors Class among research mathematicians of this century. In a remarkable labor of love and with the support of many of the major players in the field, Ben Yandell has written a fascinating account of the achievements of this Honors Class, covering mathematical substance and biographical aspects.MathematicsHistory20th centuryMathematiciansBiographyElectronic books.MathematicsHistoryMathematicians510/.9/04Yandell Ben895526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454378303321The honors class2000645UNINA
