David Hilbert (1862 –1943) was a German mathematician and philosopher of mathematics and one of the most influential mathematicians of his time. Hilbert's work in geometry had the greatest influence in that area after Euclid. A systematic study of the axioms of Euclidean geometry led Hilbert to propose 21 such axioms and he analysed their significance. He made contributions in many areas of mathematics and physics. Hilbert wss born on this day ( January 23) in 1862. Short Biography:- David Hilbe

On David Hilbert’s “On the Infinite” (Über das Unendliche) ♾️ Having previously heaped praise on Cantor’s set theory, Hilbert proceeds to point out all the contradictions that are inherent in that theory, seemingly totally oblivious to the incongruity of his stance: “In the joy of discovering new and important results, mathematicians paid too little attention to the validity of their deductive methods. For, simply as a result of employing definitions and deductive methods which had become custom
