Stephen R. Hilbert is an American mathematician best known as co-author of the Bramble–Hilbert lemma, which he published with James H. Bramble in 1970. [1] Hilbert's area of specialty is numerical analysis. [2] [3] He has been a professor of mathematics at Ithaca College since 1968. [4] [5] Additionally, he taught mathematics at Cornell University as a visiting program professor during the 2003–2004 academic year. [6]
Hilbert was born in Brooklyn, New York. [3] As a teenager, he attended Regis High School in New York City. [3] 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. [3] [7] He completed his dissertation, Numerical Solutions of Elliptic Partial Differential Equations, with Bramble as his advisor. [2] [3]
