- 3. Early Life Grew up in Konigsberg with his parents and younger sister, Elise Father was a judge Shared mother’s interest in philosophy and numbers At age 10 entered Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium
- 4. Adult Life Received doctorate in Mathematics at the University of Konigsberg in 1885 Taught mathematics at the University of Konigsberg from 1886-1895, then at the Great University of Gottingen 1895-1930 Married his second cousin Kathe Jerosch in 1892 Had one son, Franz, in 1893.
- 5. Credits and Achievements His work was an important part of mathematics including; geometry, logic, number theory, and mathematical physics. Introduced his influential list of 23 unsolved problems at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900. Mathematicians are still working on solving some of these problems to this day. The most important one being the Riemann hypothesis.
- 6. More Credits and Achievements In 1905 was awarded the Wolfgang Bolyai Prize. Recognized as being one of the world’s greatest mathematicians. Became a member of the Royal Society of London. Was made and honorary citizen of Konigsberg in 1930
- 7. Other Subjects Insulted physicists when he said: “Physics is much too difficult for physicists.” Wanted to “axiomatize” physics or create laws that were accepted as truth in physics. Also studied kinetic gas theory, radiation and molecular theory of matter.
- 8. Miscellaneous Retired from the University of Gottingen in 1930 (age 68). Watched in sadness as the Nazis purged Jewish professors, many whom were friends and collaborators, from the university in 1933 When asked by the minister of education: “How are the mathematics in Gottingen now that it has been freed of the Jewish influence?” Hilbert replied: “Mathematics in Gottingen? There is really none anymore.”

Hinweis der Redaktion
- David Hilbertwas born January 23, 1862 in Konigsberg, Prussia. Hilbert died on February 14, 1943, in Gottingen, Germany of after a long illness and depression. Hilbert had lived in Konigsberg until the age of 33, then moved to Gottingen. Hilbert’s parents were Otto and Maria Therese Hilbert.
- Hilbert grew up in Konigsberg with his parents, and younger sister, Elise. Hilbert’s father was a lawyer and a judge. Konigsberg was in the heart of a big trade network. The city was close to the Pregel river and the Baltic sea. The city’s citizens worked hard and led a no frills type of lifestyle rooted in the Protestant work ethic. Hilbert had also shared his mothers interest in philosophy and numbers. Hilbert had entered Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium at the age of 10.
- As an adult, Hilbert received a doctorate in mathematics at the university of Konigsberg in 1885. In 1886, Hilbert took an unpaid position as mathematics teacher at the University of Konigsberg until 1892. He then began receiving pay. Then in 1895, Hilbert went to teach at the University of Gottingen, replacing his former teacher, Heinrich Weber. Hilbert taught there until he was forced to retire in 1930. Hilbert’s brilliance, sarcastic wit and self confidence made him a popular and sought after professor. He attracted talented students from all over the world. The University of Gottingen was one of the most modern in the 19th century because of its strong philosophy department which was not dominated by religion. In 1892, Hilbert married his second cousin KatheJerosch. His wife was a very bright and independent thinker. They had one son, Franz, in 1893.
- Hilbert’s work was an important part of mathematics including; geometry, logic, number theory, and mathematical physics. Hilbert introduced his influential list of 23 unsolved problems at the international congress of mathematicians in Paris in the year 1900. Mathematicians today are still working on some of these 23 problems today, the most important problem being the Riemann hypothesis.
- In 1905 was awarded the Wolfgang Bolyai Prize for being one of the world’s greatest mathematicians. He became a member of the royal society of London. Its full name is the royal society of London for improving natural knowledge. Being a member of the society was a big deal back then. He was very happy when he was made and honorary citizen of Konigsberg in 1930. He always loved the city where he grew up.
- Hilbert insulted physicists when he said: “Physics is much to difficult fro physicists” Hilbert had wanted to “Axiomatize” physics, or create laws that were accepted as truth in physics. He had also studied kintetic gas theory, radiation, and molecular theory of matter.
- Hilbert retired from the University of Gottingen in 1930 at the age of 68. Hilbert watched as the Nazis purged Jewish professors, many whom were friends and collaborators from the university in 1933. When Hilbert was asked by the minister of education “How are the mathematics in Gottingen now that it has been freed of Jewish influence?” Hilbert replied: “Mathematics in Gottingen?
