Hilbert's work involves many basic mathematical problems. /kloc-After the mid-9th century, the appearance of non-Euclidean geometry, which is different from the usual Euclidean geometry, exposed the defects of Euclidean geometry that has been considered very strict for thousands of years and needs to be improved. Hilbert's magnum opus Basic Principles of Geometry puts forward a relatively complete system of geometric axioms, and introduces the "quantitative movement" in the early 20th century, which has established a solid foundation for all branches of mathematics.
The 23 mathematical problems he put forward in 1900 are considered as the commanding heights of mathematics in this century and have had a far-reaching impact in the world. The famous Goldbach conjecture is also one of the problems. Chinese mathematicians represented by Chen Jingrun have made great breakthroughs, but they have not been completely solved. The school of mathematics led by Hilbert is a banner in the field of mathematics at the end of last century and the beginning of this century. Hilbert is called "the uncrowned king of mathematics".
Hilbert was born in Prussia and has been proficient in mathematics since he was a child. One of his relatives recalled that little Hilbert's "composition" depended on his mother's help, but he could explain math problems to the teacher. Hilbert/Kloc-entered the university at the age of 0/8, and obtained his doctorate at the age of 23.
Hilbert is not only an outstanding scholar, but also a fighter for freedom of thought and political democracy. February 1943 died. Later generations carved his motto on his tombstone: "We must know, and we will know."
