I mean....These books have been written and co authored by DAVID HILBERT himself! So, if you are serious about mathematics and specially mathematical Physics you must have them. I bought these two volumes (1&2) back in 2015. It brings a lot of interesting stuff but if I just had to mention one thing would be this: Back in my BSc I took Volume 1 from the University Library and found myself with the general solution to the Euler-Lagrange equation when the functional from where it is derived (using calculus of variations technique) has higher derivatives or let's say greater than order two, here I found the solution for infinite order derivatives 2,3,4,5,6,7,8......n,n+1,etc. You may say that it is easy to find by yourself the solution and I agree BUT, when you are an undergraduate in the second year and finding yourself in front of the Calculus of Variations for the first time it is not so obvious, good book by a T. REX of Mathematics and Physics. If you want to know what did Hilbert do in Physics, he contended Einstein into who would find first the Action that led to Einstein's General Relativity Field Equations, they were getting paper after paper and so today the referred Action is known as "The Einstein-Hilbert action", just to give you an example, less to say HILBERT'S contribution to Mathematics: Hilbert discovered and developed a broad range of fundamental ideas 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 the foundations of mathematics (particularly proof theory). He adopted and defended Georg Cantor's set theory and transfinite numbers. In 1900, he presented a collection of problems that set a course for mathematical research of the 20th century. Among other things he is known for: Hilbert's basis theorem, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, Hilbert's axioms, Hilbert's problems, Hilbert's program, Hilbert space (which are fundamental for Quantum Mechanics), Hilbert system, Epsilon calculus, so again what can I say, you just got to buy these two volume books while they are still available despite the money price. Review: For a pre-owned book, published in 1953, it is in excellent condition! - I studied this book as a graduate student at the Courant Institute a long time ago. Over the years my copy and I were separated. When I saw this available on desertcart through Eborn Books, I knew I had to buy it. The condition of this book is excellent for a book that was published in 1953.

Kudos to Eborn Books ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic textbook *by H***R on April 1, 2023* Glad to get hold of this second handed copy. The new print is also available in Amazon but is in such a poor quality.
