Hilbert’s 12th problem asked for novel analogues of the roots of unity, the building blocks for certain number systems. Now, over 100 years later, two mathematicians have produced them.

A century ago, the great mathematician David Hilbert posed a probing question in pure mathematics. A recent advance in optimization theory is bringing Hilbert’s work into the modern world.

By proving a broader version of Hilbert’s famous 10th problem, two groups of mathematicians have expanded the realm of mathematical unknowability.

The Problem Posed by David Hilbert According to Live Science, the significance of this discovery lies in its connection to the famous list of unsolved mathematical problems proposed by legendary ...

A century ago, the great mathematician David Hilbert posed a probing question in pure mathematics. A recent advance in optimization theory is bringing Hilbert’s work into a world of self-driving cars.

Hilbert’s sixth problem was one of the loftiest. He called for “axiomatizing” physics, or determining the bare minimum of mathematical assumptions behind all its theories.

Fortunately, you come across a beautiful hotel named after the famous mathematician David Hilbert, whose work you greatly appreciate.

NEWS has reached Great Britain that Prof. David Hilbert, of Gottingen, died recently. He was born on January 23, 1862, and was a mathematician of tremendous power who ranged over a wide field and ...

The 1930 Königsberg conference hosted two of the greatest minds in mathematics engaged in a profound struggle. The conference saw David Hilbert, largely regarded as the father of 20th-century ...
