In the year 1900, the mathematician David Hilbert announced a list of 23 significant unsolved problems that he hoped would endure and inspire. Over a century later, many of his questions continue to ...

The problem has led him and the mathematician Jesse Wolfson at the University of California, Irvine into a mathematical rabbit hole, whose tunnels they’re still exploring. They’ve also drafted Mark ...

Mathematicians have recentlysolved a problem that has eluded scientists for over 125 years, ... The Problem Posed by David Hilbert According to Live Science, the significance of this discover ...

In 1900, twenty-three unsolved mathematical problems, known as Hilbert's Problems, were compiled as a definitive list by mathematician David Hilbert. A century later, the seven most important ...

Mathematics has a strange gift. It is “unreasonably effective” in places where it has no right to be. Like a hammer that turns out to be good at scrambling eggs, or a basketball star who ...

The program replaces an earlier, unachievable plan of action by the great mathematician David Hilbert, who in 1921 commanded mathematicians to weave infinity completely into the fold of finitistic ...

Mathematicians have finally succeeded in unifying the laws of physics that govern the motions of particles at different scales. Their efforts resolve a question set by mathematician David Hilbert ...

German mathematician David Hilbert presented this supposed paradox during a 1925 lecture on infinity. The example illustrates how not all concepts can be transferred from finite to infinite cases ...

And the problem appeared both in mathematician David Hilbert’s groundbreaking speech from 1900 and among the “Millennium Problems” formulated a century later. The person who solves it will ...
