The future of mathematics is a topic that has been written about by many notable mathematicians. Typically, they are motivated by a desire to set a research agenda to direct efforts to specific problems, or a wish to clarify, update and extrapolate the way that subdisciplines relate to the general discipline of mathematics and its possibilities. Examples historical and recent include Felix Klein 's Erlangen program , Hilbert's problems , Langlands program , and the Millennium Prize Problems . In the Mathematics Subject Classification section 01Axx History of mathematics and mathematicians, the subsection 01A67 is titled Future prospectives.
