David Hilbert’s lecture, “Mathematical Problems,” [Hilbert 1900] delivered in Paris in 1900 at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians, has long been recognized as marking a milestone in the history of mathematics. Certainly for Hilbert himself, this marked the single greatest event and a true turning point in his storied career. When historians and mathematicians have written about the so-called Hilbert problems, they have usually looked forward into the twentieth century, sometimes by viewing their resolution as markers for mathematical progress.
