Abstract: Hilbert's 13th Problem (H13) is a fundamental open problem about polynomials in one variable. It is part of a beautiful (but mostly forgotten) story going back 3000 years. In this talk I will explain how H13 (and related problems) fits into a wider framework that includes problems in enumerative algebraic geometry and the theory of modular functions. I will then report on some recent progress, joint with Mark Kisin and Jesse Wolfson.
