ГИЛЬБЕРТ ДАВИД

Hilbert David (1862–1943)

German mathematician and logician; lecturer at Königsberg from 1886 and at Göttingen from 1895; founder of the Göttingen mathematical school. Hilbert worked on the theory of algebraic invariants, algebraic numbers and the foundations of mathematics and mathematical logic. In his Grundlagen der Geometrie (1899) he reduced Euclidean geometry to a rigid system of axioms, which largely predetermined further work on the axiomatisation of knowledge (see Axiomatic Method). Hilbert produced important work on the propositional calculus and functional calculus.

In a number of articles which appeared in the early 1920s, Hilbert formulated a new approach to the foundations of mathematics, which led to the appearance, on the one hand, of the conception of formalism and, on the other, of metamathematics, a new branch of mathematics.
