1. The problem asks to identify which statements about David Hilbert are NOT true.
2. Let's analyze each statement:
- "He developed Hilbert's axioms." This is true; Hilbert formulated a set of axioms for geometry.
- "He was a German mathematician." This is true; Hilbert was indeed German.
- "He invented the point." This is false; the concept of a point existed long before Hilbert.
- "He wrote a biography on Euclid." This is false; Hilbert did not write a biography on Euclid.
- "Hilbert's improvements to geometry are still used in textbooks today." This is true; his axioms and work influence modern geometry.
3. Therefore, the NOT true statements are:
- He invented the point.
- He wrote a biography on Euclid.
Final answer: The statements "He invented the point" and "He wrote a biography on Euclid" are NOT true about David Hilbert.
