Their past, our present, and future
To
Infinity and Beyond a perfect descriptive tittle to how end a series of
episodes that describes the past, present and future. In this last episode of story of math, the
story revolves around the concept where in there are 23 most important problems
that were set out by David Hilbert, a young German Mathematician. These 23 most
important mathematical problems was an immense challenge to those
mathematicians who accepted the challenge of answering these unsolvable mathematical
problems, thus, gaining triumph or failure. The first mathematical problem was
understanding the meaning of infinity and giving it a mathematical precision. This
problem was solved by Georg Cantor who spent his entire adult life
understanding mathematics. Many mathematicians were like him, mathematicians
who accepted the challenge, who devoting their entire life answering the
different problems set out in front of them.
But, unlike any other theories, there are theories that are unable to be
solved. Yet, even those who poses extraordinary mind fails to answer this
theory, the Riemann’s theory. Though,
mathematicians weren’t able to be solved those problems they still seek to answer,
making the unsolvable, answerable. Their reasons though not of money, but
because it’s their passion, and for them the prestige that is acquired of
solving what is being dreamt of answering is worth more, and for them they live
to solve those mathematical equations, theories and formulas that each one of
them can’t, giving them a life worth living for.
