Contribution
Hilbert investigated the foundations of geometry through explicit axioms and their relationships. His research ranged across mathematics and physics.
Context and limits
Explicit assumptions help distinguish a mathematical structure from an intuitive picture. The chapter places foundational questions alongside later questions about effective computation.
