Amazing! Im in love with this piece, just moved to Göttingen and now I study in the place a lot of these incomparable minds used to life and work.
All my fellow student I showed this where just as amazed as I was when I first saw it. Really happy to see some art honoring these geniuses that are sadly not as well known as they should be.
Formidable work.

Thanks. Although some people will complain I didn't remember to include such and such. If I had to add every single "important" (subjective too) mathematical figure, this picture would be even bigger, and at the time I was doing this, there were probably quite a few of them I didn't even know about either (or nobody knows what they look like?).
Not much I can do about that...
I was in Göttingen once on vacation. Nice place too. Bikes everywhere though.

Haha, indeed Göttingen has more bikes then inhabitants. At least thats what it seems like near the university.
Yes you´re right, the importance of an idea is sometimes very hard to evaluate, some may say that topological studies are far less important then
for example achievements in stochastics, but you may never now what kind of knowledge can be "useful" in the future.
And even beyon use, mathematics is like art, and art is always subjective.
I mostly agree with your choices, especially since Gauß is somewhat sacred to me and Hilbert just inspires me everyday when entering the math faculty
(theres a bust in the entrance hall, which is actually called "Hilbert-Raum/Hilbert-Room" among the mathematicians, I guess you get the joke).

I like Gauss a lot too.
I think the "Raum" thing works better in German because it can also mean space. As in Weltraum for outer space.

Yeah, I guess so. Totally forgot about the differences between the languages.
