20th-century mathematicians

The 20th century saw mathematicians revolutionize our understanding of the field. Pioneers like David Hilbert shaped formal systems and foundational questions, while Kurt Gödel proved limits to what we can prove mathematically. Emmy Noether advanced abstract algebra and symmetry principles in physics. Alan Turing laid groundwork for computers with his work on algorithms and artificial intelligence. John von Neumann contributed to game theory and computer architecture. These mathematicians expanded the boundaries of logic, computation, and algebra, influencing technology, science, and intellectual thought across the world. Their work continues to underpin modern advancements in many fields.
