Abstract In the early 20th century, German mathematician David Hilbert proposed an audacious plan to provide mathematics with a complete and consistent foundation. Known as Hilbert’s Program, this initiative aimed to eliminate uncertainty in mathematics by grounding it in a finite set of axioms and proving its consistency using formal logic. Although the program faced… Read more…
