Hilbert

Hilbert, in the context of geometry, refers to David Hilbert, a prominent mathematician who contributed significantly to mathematics and logic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He proposed a formal approach to geometry through his famous "Hilbert's axioms," which are a set of definitions and rules that provide a foundation for geometric concepts. His work aimed to make geometry more rigorous, ensuring that all geometric statements could be logically derived from basic principles. This approach not only advanced geometry but also influenced various fields of mathematics, emphasizing the importance of structure and proof.
