Hilbert-Waring Theorem/Historical Note

Historical Note on Waring's Problem
The Hilbert-Waring Theorem was conjectured by in $1770$ in, and was generally referred to as Waring's problem.

It was proved by in $1909$.

The assertion is that for each $k$ there exist such a number $\map g k$.

The problem remains to determine what that $\map g k$ actually is.
