In spite of the simplicity and importance of this problem, it remains unsolved to this day although, as the book shows, many remarkable results have been discovered. Editor(s): Itenberg, Ilia; Kharlamov, Viatcheslav; Shustin, Eugenii I. Translator(s): Gould, Gerald G. Series: Unitext / La Matematica Per Il 3+2. Num Pages: 109 pages, 126 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBMW; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 237 x 164 x 10. Weight in Grams: 200.
This book is concerned with one of the most fundamental questions of mathematics: the relationship between algebraic formulas and geometric images.
At one of the first international mathematical congresses (in Paris in 1900), Hilbert stated a special case of this question in the form of his 16th problem (from his list of 23 problems left over from the nineteenth century as a legacy for the twentieth century).
In spite of the simplicity and importance of this problem (including its numerous applications), it remains unsolved to this day (although, as you will now see, many remarkable results have been discovered).

About Vladimir I. Arnold
Vladimir Arnold is one of the great mathematical scientists of our time. He is famous for both the breadth and the depth of his work. His first mathematical work, which he did being a third-year student, was the solution of the 13th Hilbert problem about superpositions of continuous functions. His early work on KAM (Kolmogorov, Arnold, Moser) theory ... Read more
Reviews for Real Algebraic Geometry
From the reviews: “As Arnold’s own 1971 contribution altered the direction of research on this question, this book constitutes a summary of the story coming directly from the master. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 51 (6), February, 2014) “This book is a translation of lecture notes from Russian with additional comments ... Read more
