the only thing I remember is something called a Hilbert space, beyond that I have no clue to what it is.

Without a question the most influential mathematician of the last 150 years, history’s most significant geometer after Euclid, IMO. He lived quite a life, and with constant integrity. Worth a read.

“Hilbert discovered and developed a broad range of fundamental ideas in many areas, 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).”

Is he the guy I came blame for having to take Differential Equations at PSU?

There are a whole lot of bad guys in this instance but if you want one specific name, Jacob Bernoulli.
