Hilbert's problems

Hilbert's problems are a set of 23 mathematical challenges proposed by German mathematician David Hilbert in 1900. These problems aimed to guide future research and address fundamental questions in mathematics. They cover various areas, including number theory, algebra, and geometry, and focus on unsolved problems that could advance our understanding of mathematical concepts. While some have been resolved, many remain open, driving ongoing inquiry and exploration in mathematics. Hilbert's problems highlight the depth and richness of mathematical thought, inspiring generations of mathematicians.
