Michigan provided an encore performance Saturday night for the home crowd at Yost Arena, as the Wolverines once again exploded for three consecutive goals, this time in the second period, in their 6-2 victory. Andy Hilbert scored two goals for the Wolverines, including one tally off of a two-on-one play past the Saint goaltender Sean Coakley to put Michigan...

Einstein continued to work on the problem in Berlin, undisturbed by domestic matters and largely unaffected by the war, until he finally found the right equations, in November 1915. Einstein had discussed his ideas with the mathematician David Hilbert during a visit to the University of Gottingen in the summer of 1915, and Hilbert independently found the same equations a few days before Einstein. Nevertheless, as Hilbert admitted, the credit for the new theory belonged to Einstein. It was his idea to relate gravity to the warping of space-time. It is a tribute to the civilized state of Germany...

...started his career by solving the famous Hilbert's fifth problem as part of a team, which is quite an outstanding achievement," says colleague Raoul Bott, Graustein Professor of Mathematics. "But he's always been very interested in the undergraduates as well. His office is always full of them...

Gleason, who was granted tenure without a Ph.D. after he had solved the notoriously difficult Hilbert problem, focuses his academic work on topology and space mathematics. David Hilbert, a German mathmetician, proposed a series of about 10 problems he considered the most pressing math questions unsolved at the turn of the century. Math scholars are still working on solving some of the problems, which define much of 20th-century math...
