Friends:

Where does Hilbert comment, outside of the Foundations itself, about what
he hoped to accomplish with his Foundations of Geometry?  Where are the
best reviews by others about what Hilbert hoped to accomplish with his
Foundations of Geometry and their estimates of what he did accomplish?

Which axioms do you prefer to yield Euclidean Geometry?  Why those axioms?

Best wishes from Annapolis for the year 2000,

Sam Kutler
