Summary
This remarkable book has endured as a true masterpiece of mathematical exposition. There are few mathematics books that are still so widely read and continue to have so much to offer—even after more than half a century has passed! The book is overflowing with mathematical ideas, which are always explained clearly and elegantly, and above all, with penetrating insight. It is a joy to read, both for beginners and experienced mathematicians.
“Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen” is full of interesti…

Critics Review
This book is a masterpiece – a delightful classic that should never go out of print. – MAA Reviews [This] superb introduction to modern geometry was co-authored by David Hilbert, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century. – Steven Strogatz
D. Hilbert
D. Hilbert
D. Hilbert was a highly influential German mathematician. He is recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century. Hilbert established his reputation as a great mathematician and scientist by devising and developing a broad range of fundamental ideas in many areas, including invariant theory, the calculus of variations, commutative algebra, algebraic number theory, the foundations of geometry, spectral theory of operators and its application to integral equations, mathematical physics, and foundations of mathematics (particularly proof theory).
S. Cohn-Vossen
S. Cohn-Vossen was a renowned mathematician known for his significant contributions to differential geometry. His work, often in collaboration with others, helped advance the understanding of geometric structures and their properties. Cohn-Vossen made lasting impacts in various areas of mathematics.
