The Hilbert Challenge: A panorama of twentieth century mathematics (Paperback)

Customer Review

This book should be of interest to mathematicians and those who want to know the history of the development of mathematics in a century. The paper analyzes each of the 22 views expressed by the great German mathematician David Hilbert. The approach is nice, the book is well documented and the translation is good. Two negative points though:

- Instead of first taking over the discourse of Hilbert at the International Congress of Mathematics in Paris in 1900, and to deepen the subjects one by one, the author chooses fairly confusing reverse order which makes things a little confused;

- Some basic topics are developed excessively and unnecessarily while complex and difficult matters "fall from the sky" and not getting many explanations. This is frustrating because we come to wonder whether the author himself has understood the material.

For cons, the author provides excellent information about what Hilbert's ideas have become, research which they led and results that were obtained. Conclusion: to read.
