David Hilbert mathematician, was born January 23, 1862, Konigsberg Germany
And died February 14, 1943 Gottingen Germany(Britannica.com)
Hilbert background of childhood is he came from money. His father
Otto was a reputable city judge and his mother Marla was interested in
philosophy and astronomy(thefamouspeople.com) Since he was a child he
excelled in mathematics and had interest in language. In 1872 he joined
Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium, when he graduated he decided he was to stay
close to home. In 1880 he enrolled at university of Konigsberg, He finished
his inaugural dissertation(Ph.D.) he remained at Konigsberg as a privatdozent
(lecturer or assistant professor), In 1886-92 as an Extraordinaire (associate
Professor) (thefamouspeople.com) …show more content…
David was a great leader and spokesperson for the discipline of mathematics in
The 20th century. (www.storyofmathematics.com/20). Hilbert proposed new
Formal sets of geometrical axioms, known as the Hilbert axioms.
But his greatest Known legacy is with working on equations often today referred
to as the finiteness theorem. Interestingly, though Hilbert could not actually
construct this finite sets of equations, At the time, some critics passed this off as
mere theology or smoke-and-mirrors, but it effectively marked the beginnings of a
whole new style of abstract mathematics. (Wikipediasource4). For a time, Hilbert
bravely spoke out against the Nazi repression of his Jewish mathematician
friends in Germany and Austria in the mid-1930s. But, after mass evictions,
several suicides, many deaths in concentration camps, and even direct
assassinations, he too eventually lapsed into silence, and could only watch as one of the greatest mathematical centres of all time was systematically destroyed
(russellandwhiteheadblog). Living this way leading up to his death in 1862.
Hilbert made some great contributions to math Including the axiomatic
