Hilbert

They still haven’t solved Hilbert’s 13th problem and probably aren’t even close, Farb admitted.

Farb and Wolfson have been working on the problem they believe Hilbert intended ever since their discovery.

Hilbert had focused on cubic surfaces to solve ninth-degree polynomials in one variable.

Hilbert was a flashy man who helicoptered five miles daily over corn fields to and from the office.

Such also are the definitions found in a book justly admired and greatly honored, the Foundations of Geometry by Hilbert.

I do not make this formal character of his geometry a reproach to Hilbert.

The end of Hilbert's memoir is altogether enigmatic and I shall not lay stress upon it.

I prefer to follow step by step the development of Hilbert's thought, quoting textually the most important passages.

So for Russell logic is prior to arithmetic; for Hilbert they are 'simultaneous.'
