Currently, he is a professor of mathematics at Ithaca College.[4][5] He received his BS in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in 1964 and his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Maryland in 1969.[6][7]

Early life and education

Hilbert was born in Brooklyn, New York.[8] As a teenager, he attended Regis High School in New York City.[9]
