Among many things, he was known for his 23 "Hilbert problems" which influenced a lot of subsequent mathematics: Benjamin Yandell, "The Honors Class - Hilbert's Problems and Their Solvers". Natick, MA: A. K. Peters, 2002. [ISBN:1-56881-141-1] There's been significant progress on some of the problems since Yandell's book, but it's still a good introduction.
