Foundations of Mathematics Mathematical Problems Problem Collections Hilbert's Problems A set of (originally) unsolved problems in mathematics proposed by Hilbert Of the 23 total, ten were presented at the Second International Congress in Paris on August 8, 1900. Furthermore, the final list of 23 problems omitted one additional problem on proof theory (Thiele 2001). Hilbert's problems were designed to serve as examples for the kinds of problems whose solutions would lead to the furthering of disciplines in mathematics, and are summarized in the following list. 1a. Is there a transfinite number between that of a denumerable set and the numbers of the continuum ? This question was answered by and Cohen to the effect that the answer depends on the particular version of set theory assumed. 1b. Can the continuum of numbers be considered a well ordered set ? This question is related to Zermelo's axiom of choice . In 1963, the axiom of choice was demonstrated to be independent of all other axioms in set theory , so there appears to be no universally valid solution to this question either. 2. Can it be proven that the

THE PROBLEMS The Continuum Hypothesis. Kurt Godel proved in 1938 that the generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH) is consistent relative to Zermelo Fraenkel set theory . In 1963, Paul Cohen showed that its negation is also consistent. Consequently, the axioms of mathematics as currently understood are unable to decide the GCH. See Godel's Theorems Whether the axioms of arithmetic are consistent. Godel's Theorems Whether two tetrahedra of equal base and altitude necessarily have the same volume. This was proved false by Max Dehn in 1900.

The Hilbert problems 1900-2000 Jeremy Gray In 1900 David Hilbert went to the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris to give an invited paper. He spoke on The Problems of Mathematics , to such effect that Hermann Weyl later referred to anyone who solved one of the 23 problems that Hilbert presented as entering the honours class of mathematicians. Throughout the 20th century the solution of a problem was the occasion for praise and celebration. David Hilbert around 1900 Hilbert in 1900 By 1900 Hilbert had emerged as the leading mathematician in Germany. He was famous for his solution of the major problems of invariant theory, and for his great Zahlbericht , or Report on the theory of numbers , published in 1896. In 1899, at Klein's request, Hilbert published The foundations of geometry You have opened up an immeasurable field of mathematical investigation which can be called the "mathematics of axioms" and which goes far beyond the domain of geometry. Hermann Minkowski Hilbert was therefore poised to lead the international community of mathematicians. He consulted with his friends Minkowski and Hurwitz, and Minkowski advised him to seize the moment, writing:

The Mathematical Problems of David Hilbert About Hilbert's address and his 23 mathematical problems Hilbert's address of 1900 to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris is perhaps the most influential speech ever given to mathematicians, given by a mathematician, or given about mathematics. In it, Hilbert outlined 23 major mathematical problems to be studied in the coming century. Some are broad, such as the axiomatization of physics (problem 6) and might never be considered completed. Others, such as problem 3, were much more specific and solved quickly. Some were resolved contrary to Hilbert's expectations, as the continuum hypothesis (problem 1). Hilbert's address was more than a collection of problems. It outlined his philosophy of mathematics and proposed problems important to his philosophy. Although almost a century old, Hilbert's address is still important and should be read (at least in part) by anyone interested in pursuing research in mathematics. In 1974 a symposium was held at Northern Illinois University on the Mathematical developments arising from Hilbert problems.

Hilbert Problems for the Geosciences in the 21st Century M. Ghil http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/tcd/ Here are some interesting problems in the Geosciences for the 21st century: What is the coarse-grained structure of low-frequency atmospheric variability , and what is the connection between its episodic and oscillatory description? What can we predict beyond one week, for how long , and by what methods What are the respective roles of intrinsic ocean variability coupled ocean-atmosphere modes , and atmospheric forcing in seasonal-to-interannual variability ? What are the implications for climate prediction How does the change on interdecadal and longer time scales , and what is the role of the atmosphere and of sea ice in such changes? What is the role of chemical cycles and biological changes in affecting climate on slow time scales , and how are these affected in turn by climate variations? What can we learn about these problems from the atmospheres and oceans (if any) of other planets and their satellites Given the answer to the above questions, what is the role of humans in modifying climate , and can we achieve enlightened climate control of our planet?

It turns out that a few class of models have determinant formulas for the probability distribution, which can be analyzed asymptotically.

By Fourier transform the inverse problems lead to nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problems on the real axis.

David Hilbert (1862-1943) Excerpt from Math Odyssey 2000 David Hilbert was born in Koenigsberg, East Prussia in 1862 and received his doctorate from his home town university in 1885. His knowledge of mathematics was broad and he excelled in most areas. His early work was in a field called the theory of algebraic invariants. In this subject his contributions equaled that of Eduard Study, a mathematician who, according to Hilbert, "knows only one field of mathematics." Next after looking over the work done by French mathematicians, Hilbert concentrated on theories involving algebraic and transfinite numbers. In 1899 he published his little book The Foundations of Geometry , in which he stated a set of axioms that finally removed the flaws from Euclidean geometry. At the same time and independently, the American mathematician Robert L. Moore (who was then 19 years old) also published an equivalent set of axioms for Euclidean geometry. Some of the axioms in both systems were the same, but there was an interesting feature about those axioms that were different. Hilbert's axioms could be proved as theorems from Moore's and conversely, Moore's axioms could be proved as theorems from Hilbert's. After these successes with the axiomatization of geometry, Hilbert was inspired to try to develop a program to axiomatize all of mathematics. With his attempt to achieve this goal, he began what is known as the "formalist school" of mathematics. In the meantime, he was expanding his contributions to mathematics in several directions partial differential equations, calculus of variations and mathematical physics. It was clear to him that he could not do all this alone; so in 1900, when he was 38 years old, Hilbert gave a massive homework assignment to all the mathematicians of the world.
