Hilbert's taste in the selection of the problems was conditioned, of course, by his own interests and the areas of mathematics on which he had worked. But since his research ranged broadly over algebra, number theory, analysis, geometry, physics, and logic, he did manage to capture many of the themes that would prove to be important in the twentieth century. From our vantage point, we can see that there were some obvious omissions: in particular, anything to do with topology, probability, mathematics applied to any subject other than physics, or discrete or computational mathematics. But the vast developments of these fields could not have been predicted in 1900 except possibly for topology, in which Poincare had already obtained deep results. Hilbert's excellent taste was as good a guide as one could hope for.

Search MAA Online MAA Home Read This! The MAA Online book review column The Honors Class: Hilbert's Problems and their Solvers by Benjamin H. Yandell Reviewed by Herbert E. Kasube At the dawn of the twentieth century, David Hilbert challenged the mathematicians of the world with twenty-three problems. These problems encompassed a wide breadth of mathematics and stimulated mathematicians for decades to come. Yandell's book is a (relatively) leisurely stroll through the people and the mathematics associated with these problems. I say "relatively" here because while a deep mathematical background is not necessary to enjoy this book, some mathematical sophistication will add to the reader's appreciation. We can find other descriptions of Hilbert's 1900 lecture and subsequent paper that listed these problems. For example, the two volumes entitled Mathematical developments arising from Hilbert problems ] contains papers from a 1974 symposium sponsored by the American Mathematical Society. This presents the mathematics behind the problems quite thoroughly, but it is not meant to be casual reading. Jeremy Gray's recent text The Hilbert Challenge ] would also be a nice companion to this volume. To learn more about Davis Hilbert himself, the best reference is Contance Reid's classic biography entitled simply

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 in 1900. These problems were designed to serve as examples for the kinds of problems whose solutions would lead to the furthering of disciplines in mathematics. 1a. Is there a transfinite number between that of a denumerable set and the numbers of the continuum? This question was answered by G?del 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 axioms of logic are consistent? G?del's incompleteness theorem indicated that the answer is "no," in the sense that any formal system interesting enough to formulate its own consistency can prove its own consistency iff it is inconsistent. 3. Give two tetrahedra which cannot be decomposed into congruent tetrahedra directly or by adjoining congruent tetrahedra. Max Dehn showed this could not be done in 1902 by inventing the theory of Dehn invariants, and W. F. Kagon obtained the same result independently in 1903.

Research in Mathematical Analysis Department of Mathematical Sciences University of Bath Postgraduate Research Staff working in this area are Dr G. R. Burton Professor L. E. Fraenkel FRS Dr J. Sivaloganathan Professor J. F. Toland FRS and Professor D. Vassiliev The topics studied include Convex analysis and variational principles Free-boundary problems Mathematical hydrodynamics Nash-Moser theory ... Topological degree theory Research in analysis at Bath is mainly concerned with the rigorous mathematical theory of partial differential equations which arise in problems from mechanics, physics and geometry, with special emphasis on nonlinear problems. Questions about differential equations can be formulated in terms of operators acting on Banach spaces of functions. There are natural connections with differential geometry, nonlinear functional analysis, complex analysis, dynamical systems theory and harmonic analysis, which are reflected in the wide range of work being done here, including collaborations with colleagues in other groups. There is a lively research environment with regular seminars and international visitors. Graduate lectures and research at Bath led to the first book on a recent theory of symmetry of positive solutions of elliptic partial differential equations. Convex analysis and variational problems Convex sets and convex functionals play a prominent role in the modern theory of the Calculus of Variations. For example, the special properties enjoyed by convex sets and functionals with respect to weak convergence in Banach spaces, that result from the Hahn-Banach theorem, are often crucial in proving the existence of minimizers for variational problems. The subject has advanced to the stage where many interesting non-convex optimization problems can be studied using convexity methods. Examples are the modern nonlinear models of elasticity using polyconvex and quasiconvex functionals, and the variational formulations of steady fluid vortices where the (non-convex) set of rearrangements of a fixed function arises as a constraint set. For other rigorous work on the calculus of variations. See

32. Newsletter Item The Honors Class; Hilbert’s Problem and Their Solvers by Benjamin H. Yandell, Over the years, the various hilbert problems have led different lives. http://www.lms.ac.uk/newsletter/0207/book_reviews.html

BOOK REVIEW The Honors Class; Hilbert’s Problem and Their Solvers by Benjamin H. Yandell, A.K. Peters, 2002, 496 pp, US $39.00, £28.00, Euro 46.00, ISBN 1-56881-1410-1 The problems and their solutions are also described, and often very well. There is almost no problem in the list that requires less than a graduate course for its proper understanding, so a lower bound for a full treatment of Hilbert’s problems is 23 volumes (let us ignore the fact that Hilbert wrapped up several problems in one on some occasions). If one adds that, outside the honours class itself, few mathematicians can feel equally comfortable with the different techniques involved in the different domains of mathematics, it is clear that both size and complexity are against the author and his readers here. Yandell’s solution has been to try and make the central difficulty clear, sometimes to indicate the techniques involved, and then to try and explain what the solution actually means. Quite deliberately, the book is impressionistic. There are occasions when some crucial distinctions are missing (first versus second order logic, for example) and a few technical terms fly by undefined (homology manifold, for example). I invite readers who find this sort of thing inexcusable to write politely to the author pointing out what has to be done to put matters right; the book merits a second edition. But any young mathematician who wants to know what the leading figures in the mathematics community were like in the 20th Century now has an excellent chance to find out, and to find out what is so exciting about the Hilbert problems and indeed mathematics itself.

Van Assche M. Van Barel In colaboration with: Applied Mathematics K.U.Leuven A. Kuijlaars W. Van Assche Description Aim of the project: A Riemann-Hilbert problem is a jump problem for a piecewise analytic function. The steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems was developed in order to analyse the long time behavior of integrable systems [4]. Recently, the method was used to describe orthogonal polynomials. The steepest descent method gave rise to remarkably strong asymptotic results for orthogonal polynomials as the degree tends to infinity [5], [6]. It also gave rise to a proof for the universality of distances between eigenvalues of certain random matrix ensembles that are connected with orthogonal polynomials. The steepest descent method was also used by Baik, Deift, and Johansson in their proof of the distribution of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation [1]. The research group Analysis of the Department of Mathematics of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven has a strong tradition of research in the field of orthogonal polynomials and approximation theory. The connection with Riemann-Hilbert problems came as a big surprise at the time (around 1998). In the meantime, the group has studied the method and already obtained a number of good results [A2-A6]. Part of the work has been described in a survey paper [A1]. The aim of the project is to apply the steepest descent method to a number of problems arising in approximation theory and mathematical physics. Building on the existing expertise we expect to be able to obtain significant contributions in the theory of orthogonal polynomials and associated random matrix models.

These can be distiguished by their so-called winding numbers about the manifold, which count how often solutions turn around M. We are particularly interested to give side conditions for Riemann-Hilbert problems in the form of points on M, through which the solutions are required to run. We present partial solutions of this problem in the general case and a complete algorithmic solution in the case where all restriction curves are unit circles. In the latter case the solutions are finite Blaschke products and their winding number is equal to their degree. Although interpolation problems with Blaschke products are well studied for interpolation points in the unit disc, problems with interpolation points on the boundary are not yet completely understood.
