                     WHICH ARE THE 23 HILBERT PROBLEMS?



   The original was published in German in a couple of places. A
   translation was published by the AMS in 1902.



   D. Hilbert. Mathematical problems. Lecture delivered before the
   International Congress of Mathematicians at Paris in 1900. Bulletin
   of the American Mathematical Society, 8:437-479, 1902.



   The AMS Symposium mentioned at the end contains a series of papers on
   the then-current state of most of the Problems.

   Incidentally, the bibliography information above is taken from Yuri
   Matiyasevich's book ``Hilbert's Tenth Problem", published in 1993 by
   MIT Press. The full bibliography is available via anonymous ftp from
   theory.lcs.mit.edu in the directory pub/hilbert10 (which also contains
   some other information about the book).

   Mathematical Developments Arising from Hilbert Problems, volume 28 of
   Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, pages 323-378,
   Providence, Rhode Island. American Mathematical Society, 1976.
