Hilbert’s 23 Problems: The Questions That Shaped Modern Mathematics

A concise tour of David Hilbert’s 23 problems, presented in 1900 to guide the future of math. We explore the bold ideas behind key problems— from the 3rd problem on dissecting shapes to the enduring mystery of the Riemann hypothesis (problem 8), the dream of describing all physics with math (problem 6), and the question of a universal algorithm (problem 10)—and how they sparked entire new theories, exposed the limits of solvability, and reshaped our understanding of mathematics.
