Abstract: I shall first review the heritage of the "short 20th century" in mathematics. A major success in the first half of this century was the appearance of the encyclopedic textbook by Bourbaki, putting in action the Hilbert's programme. I shall explain how it changed deeply our global perception of mathematics. But in the second half, a rather unexpected development was propelled by the growth of computer science. I shall describe the new challenges and venture to describe how they could be met in the 21th century.
