David Hilbert was one of the most influential mathematicians of the 19th and 20th centuries that discovered the invariant theory, axiomatization of geometry, formulation of Hilbert spaces, and the foundations of functional analysis. He was a German and Jewish mathematician born on January 23, 1862 in Konigsberg, Prussia, on the Baltic Sea. His father was Otto Hilbert, a respectable city judge. His mother was Maria Therese Erdtmann, a philosophy and astronomy enthusiast. On October 12, 1892, he married his second cousin, Kathe Jerosch. The next year, their only son, Franz, was born on August 11, 1893. David Hilbert began his studying for seven years at Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium in Prussia at age 10. Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium was a high school …show more content…
He turned it down because of the low salary. The amount he was payed depended on the number of students who attended the lecturers. He thought it was hard to continue on as the lecturer so he filed a complaint to the university. He didn’t feel like anything was being done so he decided to study for another tour. He planned another study trip in advance to meet with some of the greatest mathematicians of his time. He was satisfied on this trip so he went back to the University of Konigsberg to work on discovering the solution to a mathematical problem on the rules of finite basis. After several months of hard work, he believed he had found a perfect solution to the problem. His solution didn’t impress some of the eminent mathematicians. Felix Klein was a prominent mathematician and when he went though his results, he was satisfied. This solution led him to the University of Gottingen for further education. After his success, David achieved great successes in his personal life too. He became an assistant professor at the University of Konigsberg after his friend Hurwitz became professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. A few weeks later, the German Mathematical Society appointed him to conduct a study of number

Amalie Emmy Noether

Amalie Emmy Noether was a German mathematician known for her landmark contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws. Noether, better known by her nickname of Emmy, had originally planned to be a teacher of English and French, but she changed her career plans to follow in the footsteps of her well-respected father, Max Noether, then a professor of mathematics at the University of Erlanger. While…

Research Theories

Research Theories CRJS465 American InterContinental University March 27, 2013 Abstract As humans reasoning and logic is used on a daily basis. It is used in the learning environment when an idea about a topic is presented and then steps are taken to narrow it down a more exact fact that can put to a test. This paper will explore research theories and how they differ from one another explore whether or not a particular theory is more acceptable over another. The exploration on the differences…

The Use Of Evidence

We walk around the world with a bewildering network of opinions, beliefs and judgments, some of them ephemeral (I think that I won’t need an umbrella today) and some vital (I trust that person). Why is the sky blue? Why do you believe you are mortal? Why is four twice two? How do you know that George Washington actually existed? If we have an opinion about such a question, then when we are challenged, we offer what we think counts for evidence. We hope, of course, that our evidence persuades…
