Abstract
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 had an unusual influence on present-day mathematics. An indication of the breadth of Hilbert's influence is the number of mathematical topics which are associated with his name. For example, we have Hilbert space, Hilbert inequality, Hilbert transform, Hilbert invariant integral, Hilbert irreducibility theorem, Hilbert base theorem, Hilbert axiom, Hilbert sub-groups, Hilbert class field. Again we recall his contributions to the “Yellow-Backs”: “Methoden der Mathematischcn Physik” (with Courant), “Grundlagen der Mathematik” (with Bernays), “Anschauliche Geometrie” (with Cohn-Vossen), Theoretische Logik (with Ackermanr).
