David Hilbert was born January 23, 1862, in Königsberg, Prussia now Kaliningrad, Russia, and he died February 14, 1943, in Göttingen, Germany. His Father is Otto and his Mother is Maria. In 1892 he married Käthe Jerosch, and they had one child, Franz. David Hilbert was a German mathematician, one of the most influential mathematicians of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Hilbert’s career
Hilbert’s career started at the University of Königsberg, at which in 1885 he finished his Inaugural-Dissertation Ph.D. He remained at Königsberg as a Privatdozent (lecturer, or assistant professor) in 1886–92, as an associate professor in 1892–93, and as an Ordinarius in 1893–95.
Starting in 1886, David Hilbert worked for nine years at the University of Königsberg, first as a lecturer, then as a professor. In 1895, at age 33, he moved to the world’s top mathematics university, the University of Göttingen, Germany, where giants such as Carl Friedrich Gauss, Bernhard Riemann, and Peter Dirichlet had been professors of mathematics. Hilbert would spend the rest of his career at Göttingen. In 1902, at age 40, he became co-editor of the world’s leading mathematical journal, Mathematische Annalen. He retired from research and teaching work at the University of Göttingen in 1930, at age 68. He continued working as co-editor of Mathematische Annalen until 1939.
