About Foundations of Geometry

Discover the profound impact of the German mathematician David Hilbert, a towering figure in the landscape of mathematics during the 19th and early 20th centuries. In his groundbreaking work, Grundlagen der Geometrie, published in 1899, Hilbert introduced 20 axioms that laid the groundwork for a modern approach to Euclidean geometry. His innovative axiom system is built around six primitive notions, including the essential concepts of point, line, and plane, along with relations such as Betweenness, Lies on, and Congruence. This monograph, which was inspired by Hilberts own lectures for a memorial address, quickly gained traction through a French translation that incorporated his revisions. An authorized English version by E.J. Townsend followed in 1902, making this audiobook a significant resource as it reflects the insights and updates from both the original and French editions.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
