David Hilbert, caricature C015 / 6702
David Hilbert (1862-1943). Caricature of the German mathematician David Hilbert. Hilbert is regarded by many as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He was educated at Konigsberg and Heidelberg, taught at Konigsberg and became professor of mathematics at Gottingen in 1895. His first work was in number theory, creating a general theory of invariants. He later applied this to topology, developing the concept of infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. This opened the way for quantum theorists such as Schrodinger, Heisenberg and Dirac. Hilbert also championed formalism in mathematical logic and philosophy, inspiring Godel to formulate his opposing theory of mathematical inconsistency

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print captures the essence of David Hilbert, a renowned German mathematician who left an indelible mark on the field. With his bald head, thick beard, and spectacles perched on his nose, Hilbert's image exudes wisdom and intellect. The artist has skillfully portrayed him in a comical yet respectful manner, highlighting both his historical significance and unique personality. Hilbert's contributions to mathematics are unparalleled. Educated at Konigsberg and Heidelberg, he later became a professor of mathematics at Gottingen University. His groundbreaking work began with number theory but soon expanded into topology where he introduced the concept of infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. This revolutionary idea paved the way for future quantum theorists like Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Dirac. Beyond mathematics itself, Hilbert also championed formalism in mathematical logic and philosophy. His ideas inspired other great thinkers such as Godel to develop their opposing theories on mathematical inconsistency. This portrait not only showcases Hilbert's physical appearance but also encapsulates his immense influence on the world of science during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It serves as a reminder of his lasting legacy that continues to shape our understanding of mathematics today.
