Placido Tardy E La Sua Corrispondenza Con Luigi Cremona: Un Progetto Di Ricerca "The geography of the Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo: local and international aspects " Cinzia Cerroni Università di Palermo Giovan Battista Guccia (Palermo 1855 – 1914) Some reference dates 1884: The foundation of “Circolo Matematico di Palermo” 1886-88: The “Circolo” has developed as national society of the mathematicians. 1887: Released the first volume of “Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo”. 1888: New Constitution and New Editorial Board 1891: Henri Poincarè entered to belong to “direttivo” of Circolo. 1894: Gösta Mittag-Leffler entered to belong to “direttivo” of Circolo. The main periods Three main periods: 1888 – 1904: the Circolo as a national association; 1904 – 1908: the strategy of Guccia for the internationalization of the Circolo; 1908 – 1914: the great growth.

I came here to thank the Circolo Matematico – that is Guccia – for the fact that he has created, to many mathematicians, their position in science” [E. Landau, 14 Aprile 1914] M.

Brescia — F. de Giovanni — M. Trombetti (Received Apr. 12, 2017 — Communicated by Dikran Dikranjan) Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 01A55, 20D25 Keywords: Frattini’s Argument; Alfredo Capelli In his memoir [7] Intorno alla generazione dei gruppi di operazioni (1885), Giovanni Frattini (1852–1925) introduced the idea of what is now known as a non-generating element of a (finite) group. He proved that the set of all non- generating elements of a group G constitutes a normal subgroup of G, which he named Φ. This subgroup is today called the Frattini sub- group of G. The earliest occurrence of this de- nomination in literature traces back to a pa- per of Reinhold Baer [1] submitted on Sep- tember 5th, 1952. Frattini went on proving that Φ is nilpotent by making use of an in- sightful, renowned argument, the intellectual ownership of which is the subject of this note. We are talking about what is nowadays known as Frattini’s Argument. Giovanni Frattini was born in Rome on January 8th, 1852 to Gabrie- le and Maddalena Cenciarelli.

Up to the end of the 19th century and well into the 20th, Italian professors—in a variety of institutional settings and with a variety of research interests— trained a number of young scholars in algebraic areas, in particular. Giuseppe Battaglini (1826–1892), Francesco Gerbaldi (1858–1934), and Luigi Bianchi (1856–1928) defined three key venues for the promotion of algebraic research in Rome, Palermo, and Pisa, respectively. This paper will consider the notion of “research school” as an analytic tool and will explore the extent to which loci of algebraic studies in Italy from the second half of the 19th century through the opening decades of the 20th century can be considered as mathematical research schools. 2003 Elsevier Inc.

In 1889 was appointed professor of higher geometry at the University of Palermo and in 1894 was appointed Ordinary. In 1884 he founded, with a personal contribution of resources and employment, the Circolo Matematico di Palermo, whose ”Rendiconti" became, a few decades later, one of the most important international mathematical journals. He it was, until his death, the director and animator. At the untimely end, in 1914, he left fifty geometric works, in the address closely cremoniano. Luigi Cremona (Pavia 1830- Roma 1903) Biography of Luigi Cremona He participated as a volunteer in the war of 1848. He entered the University of Pavia in 1849. There he was taught by Bordoni, Casorati and Brioschi. On 9 May 1853 he graduated in civil engineering at the University of Pavia. He taught for several years in Middle Schools of Pavia, Cremona and Milan. In 1860 he became professor of Higher Geometry at the University of Bologna. In October 1867, on Brioschi's recommendation, was called to Polytechnic Institute of Milan, to teach graphical statics. He received the title of Professor in 1872 while at Milan. He moved to Rome on 9 October 1873, as director of the newly established Polytechnic School of Engineering.

We point out the pioneering contribution of the Italian mathemati- cian towards the Mellin–Barnes integrals based on the duality principle between linear di5erential equations and linear di5erence equation with rational coe7cients. By extending the original arguments used by Pincherle, we also show how to formally derive the linear di5erential equation and the Mellin–Barnes integral representation of the Meijer G functions. c 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Preface In Vol. 1, p. 49 of Higher Transcendental Functions of the Bateman Project [5] we read “Of all integrals which contain gamma functions in their integrands the most important ones are the so-called Mellin–Barnes integrals. Such integrals were ÿrst introduced by Pincherle, in 1888 [21]; their theory has been developed in 1910 by Mellin (where there are references to earlier work) [17] and they were used for a complete integration of the hypergeometric di5erential equation by Barnes [2]”.

  • HOMOTECIA Nº 11-15 Noviembre 2017
    HOMOTECIA Nº 11 – Año 15 Miércoles, 1º de Noviembre de 2017 1 En una editorial anterior, comentamos sobre el consejo que le dio una profesora con años en el ejercicio del magisterio a un docente que se iniciaba en la docencia, siendo que ambos debían enseñar matemática: - Si quieres obtener buenos resultados en el aprendizaje de los alumnos que vas a atender, para que este aprendizaje trascienda debes cuidar el lenguaje, el hablado y el escrito, la ortografía, la redacción, la pertinencia. Desde la condición humana, promover la cordialidad y el respeto mutuo, el uso de la terminología correcta de nuestro idioma, que posibilite la claridad de lo que se quiere exponer, lo que se quiere explicar, lo que se quiere evaluar. Desde lo específico de la asignatura, ser lexicalmente correcto. El hecho de ser docente de matemática no significa que eso te da una licencia para atropellar el lenguaje. En consecuencia, cuando utilices los conceptos matemáticos y trabajes la operatividad correspondiente, utiliza los términos, definiciones, signos y símbolos que esta disciplina ha dispuesto para ellos. Debes esforzarte en hacerlo así, no importa que los alumnos te manifiesten que no entienden. Tu preocupación es que aprendan de manera correcta lo que se les enseña. Es una prevención para evitarles dificultades en el futuro . Traemos a colación lo de este consejo porque consideramos que es un tema que debe tratarse con mucha amplitud. El problema de hablar y escribir bien no es solamente característicos en los alumnos sino que también hay docentes que los presentan. Un alumno, por más que asista continuamente a la escuela, es afectado por el entorno cultural familiar en el que se desenvuelve.

KEY WORDS: Bianchi models; Lie algebra; cosmology.3 1. INTRODUCTION Today, the Bianchi classification of 3-dimensional Lie algebras is no longer pre- sented by the original Bianchi method [4]. The now-common approach is usually credited to C. G. Behr, but one never sees any reference to a paper by him. Tracing the references back in time one is most often led either to the paper by Ellis and 1 Written collectively as “Golden Oldie XXX; each author is signed under his segment. 2 Copernicus Astronomical Center, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] 3 Eduard-Steinle-Strae 19, 70 619 Stuttgart, Germany. 4 29 Washington Square West, New York, NY 10011, USA; e-mail: [email protected] 5 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mail Stop 169-327, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, California 91109, USA 6 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mail Stop 169-327, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, California 91109, USA; e-mail: [email protected] 7 Mathematics

  • On the Role Played by the Work of Ulisse Dini on Implicit Function
    On the role played by the work of Ulisse Dini on implicit function theory in the modern differential geometry foundations: the case of the structure of a differentiable manifold, 1 Giuseppe Iurato Department of Physics, University of Palermo, IT Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Palermo, IT 1. Introduction The structure of a differentiable manifold defines one of the most important mathematical object or entity both in pure and applied mathematics1. From a traditional historiographical viewpoint, it is well-known2 as a possible source of the modern concept of an affine differentiable manifold should be searched in the Weyl’s work3 on Riemannian surfaces, where he gave a new axiomatic description, in terms of neighborhoods4, of a Riemann surface, that is to say, in a modern terminology, of a real two-dimensional analytic differentiable manifold. Moreover, the well-known geometrical works of Gauss and Riemann5 are considered as prolegomena, respectively, to the topological and metric aspects of the structure of a differentiable manifold. All of these common claims are well-established in the History of Mathematics, as witnessed by the work of Erhard Scholz6. As it has been pointed out by the Author in [Sc, Section 2.1], there is an initial historical- epistemological problem of how to characterize a manifold, talking about a ‘’dissemination of manifold idea’’, and starting, amongst other, from the consideration of the most meaningful examples that could be taken as models of a manifold, precisely as submanifolds of a some environment space n, like some projective spaces ( m) or the zero sets of equations or inequalities under suitable non-singularity conditions, in this last case mentioning above all of the work of Enrico Betti on Combinatorial Topology [Be] (see also Section 5) but also that of R.
