Mathematics in the XXth century -- 100 Years of Hilbert's Problems
 
 
Description:  When David Hilbert proposed his famous list of 23 problems at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900 he did more than raise questions. He gave reasons for appreciating the problems and sketched out several programmes of research. In this talk I shall consider the fate of some of these topics and examine how the status of the problems, and the prestige of those who solved them, has been affected by various developments in mathematics in the last 100 years.
