    Archivi, Biblioteche, Musei L’archivio e la biblioteca di Francesco G. Tricomi ∗ ERIKA LUCIANO - LUISA ROSSO 1. Francesco Giacomo Tricomi1 Nato a Napoli il 5 maggio 1897 in un’agiata famiglia borghese, Tricomi frequenta l’Istituto tecnico locale, dove concepisce una passione per gli studi scientifici grazie all’influenza del suo insegnante di Matematica Alfredo Perna. Conseguito il diploma all’età di appena sedici anni, s’iscrive al corso di laurea in Chimica dell’Università di Bologna. L’anno successivo passa a Fisica e infine, nel 1915-16, torna a Napoli e si immatricola al terz’anno del corso di studi in Matematica. Arruolato nell’autunno del 1916, segue un corso per allievi ufficiali di complemento presso l’Accademia militare di Torino e il 1 aprile 1917, fresco di nomina, è inviato al fronte, dapprima sul Carso e poi nella zona del monte Grappa e del Piave. Nonostante la guerra, riesce comunque a portare avanti gli studi scientifici e consegue la laurea in Matematica a Napoli il 16 aprile 1918, durante una licenza. Terminata la Grande Guerra, Tricomi torna a Napoli all’inizio del 1920, decorato di due croci al merito, e riallaccia i rapporti con alcuni suoi ex docenti, fra cui R. Marcolongo e G. Torelli che lo indirizzano nelle prime ricerche e lo mettono in contatto con G. Fubini. Nel febbraio del 1921, su suggerimento di U. Amaldi, è assunto da F. Severi quale assistente alla cattedra di Geometria analitica presso l’Università di Padova. L’esperienza alla ‘Scuola’ di Severi è tuttavia di breve durata, poiché nei primi mesi del 1922 Tricomi è chiamato a Roma dove consegue la libera docenza in Analisi algebrica e infinitesimale e dove ha modo di inserirsi in un ambiente accademico di eccezionale levatura, che vanta in quegli anni la presenza di illustri matematici, fra cui V.

  • Chapter 5 Product Measures
    Chapter 5 Product Measures Lebesgue measure on R generalizes the notion of the length of an interval. In this chapter, we see how two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on R2 generalizes the notion of the area of a rectangle. More generally, we construct new measures that are the products of two measures. Once these new measures have been constructed, the question arises of how to compute integrals with respect to these new measures. Beautiful theorems proved in the first decade of the twentieth century allow us to compute integrals with respect to product measures as iterated integrals involving the two measures that produced the product. Furthermore, we will see that under reasonable conditions we can switch the order of an iterated integral. Main building of Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, the university in Pisa, Italy, where Guido Fubini (1879–1943) received his PhD in 1900. In 1907 Fubini proved that under reasonable conditions, an integral with respect to a product measure can be computed as an iterated integral and that the order of integration can be switched. Leonida Tonelli (1885–1943) also taught for many years in Pisa; he also proved a crucial theorem about interchanging the order of integration in an iterated integral.

Dispensati dal servizio1 Nel 2018 ricorreva l’ottantesimo anniversario della promulgazione delle leggi razziali che - com’è noto - costituiscono una delle pagine più vergognose della nostra storia recente e al contempo uno dei peggiori crimini compiuti dal regime fascista. Precedute dalla pubblicazione del Manifesto della razza e dal censimento della minoranza ebraica condotto nell’estate del 1938, le leggi razziali ratificano l'antisemitismo di Stato e privano gli ebrei italiani dei diritti politici e civili conquistati in epoca risorgimentale, condannandoli a divenire ‘una casta di paria’2. A seguito dei decreti del 5 settembre e del 17 novembre 1938, circa 170 insegnanti e presidi sono dispensati dal servizio, altrettanti professori universitari perdono la cattedra3 e sono espulsi da ogni accademia e società scientifica4, migliaia di studenti sono cacciati dalle scuole di ogni ordine e grado5 e l’uso di libri di testo di autori di razza ebraica è proibito in tutti gli istituti statali (quest’ultimo provvedimento è noto come la cosiddetta procedura di bonifica libraria)6. Le dimensioni della discriminazione sono di drammatica rilevanza per la scienza e per la matematica italiana, che perdono figure del calibro di Giuseppe Levi, Giacomo Mario Levi, Bruno Rossi, Emilio Segré, Enrico Fermi, Vito Volterra, Tullio Levi-Civita, e molti altri ancora7.

  • Definitions and Nondefinability in Geometry 475 2
    Definitions and Nondefinability in Geometry1 James T. Smith Abstract. Around 1900 some noted mathematicians published works developing geometry from its very beginning. They wanted to supplant approaches, based on Euclid’s, which han- dled some basic concepts awkwardly and imprecisely. They would introduce precision re- quired for generalization and application to new, delicate problems in higher mathematics. Their work was controversial: they departed from tradition, criticized standards of rigor, and addressed fundamental questions in philosophy. This paper follows the problem, Which geo- metric concepts are most elementary? It describes a false start, some successful solutions, and an argument that one of those is optimal. It’s about axioms, definitions, and definability, and emphasizes contributions of Mario Pieri (1860–1913) and Alfred Tarski (1901–1983). By fol- lowing this thread of ideas and personalities to the present, the author hopes to kindle interest in a fascinating research area and an exciting era in the history of mathematics. 1. INTRODUCTION. Around 1900 several noted mathematicians published major works on a subject familiar to us from school: developing geometry from the very beginning. They wanted to supplant the established approaches, which were based on Euclid’s, but which handled awkwardly and imprecisely some concepts that Euclid did not treat fully. They would present geometry with the precision required for general- ization and applications to new, delicate problems in higher mathematics—precision beyond the norm for most elementary classes. Work in this area was controversial: these mathematicians departed from tradition, criticized previous standards of rigor, and addressed fundamental questions in logic and philosophy of mathematics.2 After establishing background, this paper tells a story about research into the ques- tion, Which geometric concepts are most elementary? It describes a false start, some successful solutions, and a demonstration that one of those is in a sense optimal.

  • TOWARDS a HISTORY of the GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS of MATHEMATICS LATE Xixth CENTURY*
    ARTICLES TOWARDS A HISTORY OF THE GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS LATE XIXth CENTURY* Rossana TAZZIOLI RÉSUMÉ : Beaucoup de « géomètres » du XIXe siècle – Bernhard Riemann, Hermann von Helmholtz, Felix Klein, Riccardo De Paolis, Mario Pieri, Henri Poincaré, Federigo Enriques, et autres – ont joué un rôle important dans la discussion sur les fondements des mathématiques. Mais, contrairement aux idées d’Euclide, ils n’ont pas identifié « l’espace physique » avec « l’espace de nos sens ». Partant de notre expérience dans l’espace, ils ont cherché à identifier les propriétés les plus importantes de l’espace et les ont posées à la base de la géométrie. C’est sur la connaissance active de l’espace que les axiomes de la géométrie ont été élaborés ; ils ne pouvaient donc pas être a priori comme ils le sont dans la philosophie kantienne. En outre, pendant la dernière décade du siècle, certains mathématiciens italiens – De Paolis, Gino Fano, Pieri, et autres – ont fondé le concept de nombre sur la géométrie, en employant des résultats de la géométrie projective. Ainsi, on fondait l’arithmétique sur la géométrie et non l’inverse, comme David Hilbert a cherché à faire quelques années après, sans succès. MOTS-CLÉS : Riemann, Helmholtz, fondements des mathématiques, géométrie, espace. ABSTRACT : Many XIXth century « geometers » – such as Bernhard Riemann, Hermann von Helmholtz, Felix Klein, Riccardo De Paolis, Mario Pieri, Henri Poincaré, Federigo Enriques, and others – played an important role in the discussion about the founda- tions of mathematics. But in contrast to Euclid’s ideas, they did not simply identify « physical space » with the « space of the senses ».
