Abramson and her husband Douglas of Holden; a brother, David Hilbert of Upland, California; a sister, Charlotte Winters of Port Charlotte, Florida; four grandchildren, Thomas Lovejoy of Worcester, Jennifer Thibault and her husband James of Holden, Derek and Alex Abramson both of Salem, NH; six great-grandchildren; nephews and nieces.

Post and the development of logic, John von Neuman and the ideas of David Hilbert, the contribution of Polish logicians to decidability theory and predicate calculus, and the development of symbolism in logic and its philosophical background.

David Hilbert did not live to see the application of functional analysis in quantum mechanics.

Later, in his now famous speech given to the International Conference of Mathematicians at Paris in 1900, David Hilbert posed as his first problem (of 23) whether there are any nondenumerable sets whose cardinal numbers lie between [N.sub.0] and c.

In 1895 David Hilbert presented in his Grundlagen der Geometrie [1] a way of not merely sorting out the geometries in Klein's hierarchy according to the different axiom systems they obeyed but to new geometries as well.

The so-called "Schwarzschild solution" is a corruption, due to David Hilbert [22,23], of Schwarzschild's solution, and the solution obtained independently by Johannes Droste [24].

People from the world of mathematics such as David Hilbert, Richard Courant and Olinde Rodrigues show up as figures with whom the book's fictional characters have associated.

He recounts his experiences in pre-war Gottingen (where he studied under David Hilbert and witnessed the collapse of a great German academic and cultural tradition under the political pressures of a brutal Nazi regime).
