rand Russell was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, working on a broad range of mathematical problems. Meanwhile, in Germany, his contem- porary David Hilbert, also a polymath, held the chair of mathematics at Gottingen University. Both men shared a common objective: to tidy up the loose ends in mathematics
