Their past, our present, and future

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.
