A (very) Brief History of David Hilbert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- In this episode, we cover the history of 19th and 20th century German mathematician David Hilbert, most notable for his axioms on geometry and his 1900 list of 23 unsolved problems plaguing mathematics. As per usual, any mathematics I go into is surface level, and I mostly survey Hilbert's life.

Amazing. I met E. Wigner briefly circa 1983 and have a brief anecdote about our encounter. I had no idea at the time that he knew or studied with D. Hilbert. I related my anecdote to the project manager for the translation of all of Einstein’s papers at Princeton and he was amused and entertained by it in a kind and jovial way
How did I just find this channel?! Awesome work!
Good stuff as always, david hilbert absolutely popped off!
That was not a brief history at all, for the total of 22 minutes long on this mathematician monster. it appears short but you have given us everything, I thank you.
Absolutely right
I was so desperately waiting for this. Thank you. Keep it up 👍.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
This video is chock full of important references to books, published papers and history, for instance Léopold Kronecker being merciless in his criticism of Georg Cantor’s work. Today, we are much more adjusted to the concept of infinity containing and covering other infinities, along with the visible universe being much much more vast than ever expected in the early 1920s, and the existence of an even larger unexplored and invisible vast portion of it
Nice video,I apreciate your efort,keep up the good work
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile. Hilbert received blood transfusions for his anemia. Richard Courant was then Director of the Mathematical Institute and he volunteered as the blood donor. With the rise of anti-Semitism at the time, and the many great Jewish mathematicians at Gottingen, it was said that now the entirety of Gottingen's Mathematical Institute, including even Hilbert had Jewish blood flowing through their veins. This sad account is from George Polya's published photographic history of his years in the German mathematics community of the time. Courant soon relocated to NYU (their mathematical institute known as the Courant Institute) and others relocated throughout the U.S., U.K., and even the Soviet Union.
Since when he had Jewish bloods?
@@kiennguyenanh8498 Courant was Jewish, so when he donated blood to Hilbert ...
@@CosmosMarinerDU So? I think the context here is difference
@@kiennguyenanh8498 It's a witty humorous comment based on confusing two meanings of "blood": genetic identity and the red oxygen carrying liquid.
Get some native English speaker to explain it to you.
@@CosmosMarinerDU I get you humor, just saying to make my point clear
I enjoy history of mathematics, thank you!
Thanks for recording the history of Hilbert math Prof, good job, bless his math work, Hilbert geometry, very important, critical. Uses today amen
Thank you for the video!
Hilbert + Godel = Computation becoming possible
Very important video. I as PhD student studied foundation of geometry by David Hilbert
What were your insights on philosophy of mathematics,
What is the essence of axioms
What is the essence of mathematics
Is mathematical objects causal or independent
What is the basis for geometry
What is the knowledge type of geometry
Can you please share your perspectives thank you so much.
Great man!
Nice video 👍👍👍
Really impressed
He past away the same year my father Edward Hilbert was born.
Waow
You.videos are very well made and illuminating. Thanks
Great video bro👍
Excellent! Thanks. Waiting for Charles Ehreshmann!
hey! Working on getting the vid up in a few days (if not sooner). Was very difficult to find info on him, so may do a follow up at some point in the future. Hope you still enjoy when I put it up :)
EDIT: I ended up going a little bit into the evolution in the video
this is the most beautiful video I've ever seen wooow continue 😁😁
Just finished watching it. Nice info.
We must know, we will know
:(
what a great video!
thanks for the info
2:16 LOL What year?
Great video. Thank you. Upvoted, and subbed
As a chemist, we were taught nothing of David Hilbert. Sad!
We were, in Göttingen.
make one for J.P Serre, Deligne too
excellent content, thank you! please ask German and French natives how to pronounce these great mathematicians’ names as they earned to be, and yes your comments are sufficient so that no unrelated music background is needed.
Kindly name the music which is used in this video
Concerto for Cello and Orchestra: I. Allegro cantabile by Oslo Philharmonic & Guido … Siri found this from first few seconds of the video
"Wir muessen wissen. Wir werden wissen" --- such a hubris
2:17 did you say 1979 instead of 1879 ???
yep, a beautiful little hiccup there :)
Indeed, that you for this video and your series. I wrote two doctoral dissertations at Hamburg University (1975-83) and in the first one I used Gen. Th. οf Relativity as the paradigm of my research. In the last 7 years, I have spent nearly all of my time researching mathematical logic and the effects of Gödel’s incompleteness theorems (but, enjoyed how Gödel cracked the ‘absolutism’ of Hilbert but also took down the arrogance of Russell & Whitehead’s 3 volumes of ‘Principia Mathematica’). Like I said, I really appreciate your series and the work you put into these brief histories, …however, sincerely & in all due respect, I truly cringe at your attempted German pronunciation of names and places; needs work, 👍
I cringe at your English grammar
Hi can you recommend a book for math logic with exercises?
Yes, we have Wikipedia phonetic guides to pronunciation of foreign languages and some brief RUclips files with auditory pronunciations (some of which aren’t even self-consistent)…… for instance I was interested in the pronunciation of “maler” for painter vs “Mahler” the Austrian composer’s name and found the audio file for “maler” somewhat inconsistent in slow vs fast breakdown of the word
I was inspired by the “Matisse der Maler” (Matisse the painter) and confused by its being pronounced exactly like “Matisse der Mahler”
"Ignoramunamabus" - me trying to understand math
Very Underated
شكرا لك
I would argue that by showing that CH and GCH are independent of ZFC is all the solution we will likely ever see in regards to CH and thus the problem should not be considered open. If ZFC were shown to be inconsistent then that would necessitate reopening the problem.
2:18 I think it’s **1879**
Where is Kernigsberg? I thought it was Königsberg
How many hours did professor Hilbert Studied?
CAN YOU COMPILE THE BRIEF HISTORY OF PAPPUS ?
A ( very ) brief history of great Stefan Banach, I am sure you know The Man ;)
What is meant by mathematical physics? Isnt the basis of physics already math?
Mathematics is equal to world
need for my project ty
Hilbert: Such a mathematical force. Why to complication of background music that just distracts from the text that you are reading.
We must know we will know
He was the reason for the freedom of the hebrews
Total current
2:17 "1879"
❤️❤️
Scary days, when pseudo-philosophers and religious zealots were allowed to determine that certain mathematical abstractions must be considered "evil". Fortunately there are few if any such nutcases left now, at least in academics. Though there are some with youtube channels.
David Hilbert
(1862-1943)
💯
David Hilbert was the man! My man! Hehehe!
Thanks for this glimpse into the life of "the last man to know all of mathematics" (--Terence Tao) But please stop saying 'Gurdigen'. It's "Göttingen".
good summary, but please fix your pronunciation of: vehemently, Goettingen, all German names etc. Also, your description (& pronunc.) of von Neumann was rather poor.
1979? Really?
Please, Hermann Minkowski, was a lithuanian.
An American magician??
Hello :)
thousandth like
No need for that too loud background music. Annoying.
you can read a book, they don’t have background music
It's hard to believe the place this genius was born in is modern day russia.
Many famous Germans were born, lived or studied there, Kant included. It is part of Russia because Russia wanted it. It was ethnically cleansed by Stalin with the Germans who had not fled being expelled.
Kaliningrad. Also Immanuel Kant was born there.
Pronounce French names more naturally
