324406 1 En Bookbackmatter 717..756 Appendix 1 Corrado Segre’s Archives at the University of Turin Livia Giacardi, Erika Luciano, Chiara Pizzarelli, Clara Silvia Roero After Corrado Segre’s death in May 1924, his wife Olga Michelli donated the husband’s offprints and portraits,39 and in March 1926 his forty Notebooks and others documents to the Special Mathematics Library of the University of Turin, at the Faculty of Sciences.40 On the occasion of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the birth of Segre,41 in 2013 Paola Gario donated to the same Mathematics Library thirty-four plates of Descriptive and Projective Geometry, which Segre drew in 1878–79, when he attended the ‘G. Sommeiller’ Technical Institute in Turin. She had received these plates from Segre’s heirs in 1989. In January 2014 and in October 2015 the University of Turin, through L. Giacardi and C. S. Roero, received the donation of a vast collection of correspondence, plates, obituaries and documents of various types, previously kept in Ancona, from Segre’s grand-nephews Silvano and Daniele Fuà.42 39Cf.

I. Career Documents The Series is formed by three folders, which contain official correspondence and documents, in chronological order: • Institutional Correspondence: collection of 48 letters, 46 of which were sent to Segre, 33 from the Ministry of Public Education and 13 from the dean of the University of Turin. The two remaining letters are send to the dean, with Segre in copy, one from the Minister of Public Education, the other from Enrico D’Ovidio. The folder contains a draft of a letter from Segre to the Ministry of Public Education. The collection refers to Segre’s institutional career from 1883 to 1913 at the University of Turin. In particular, the letters concern the issuance of the Degree in Mathematics and of the certificate of attendance at lectures at the Teacher Training School (1883); the three-monthly scholarship from the Ministry of Public Education in the academic year 1884–85; the appointments as assistant to the Algebra and Analytic Geometry chair (1883) and to that of Projective and Descriptive Geometry (1885), as professor of Higher Geometry (1888, 1892), as adjunct professor of Mathematical Physics (1895–96), as lec- turer at the Mathematics course at the Teacher Training School (1909); and salary increases from 1886 to 1912. There is also a letter from the dean to Segre, with the request of writing Giuseppe Bruno’s biography (1893), and letters notifying Segre’s designation as Knight (1892) and as Commendatore (1917) of the Ordine della Corona d’Italia, and as Knight of the Ordine dei Santi Mau- rizio e Lazzaro (1914). • Academies and Scientific Societies’ certificates and letters: unit of twenty letters and documents sent to Segre from Italian and foreign Academies, Scientific Societies and Institutes. One letter is related to the awarding of the gold medal of the Società italiana delle Scienze for Segre’s mathematical works (1884), the remaining nineteen letters concern honorary designations by eleven scientific institutes. These appointments included fellowships of the R. Accademia delle Scienze, Lettere ed Arti di Modena, the Circolo Matematico di Palermo (as fellow from 1887, as member of the executive board from 1888), the R. Accademia delle Scienze di Torino (as fellow from 1889, as Secretary from 1910 to 1914, as director of the Class of Physical Mathematical and Natural Sciences from 1920), the R.

  • Real Proofs of Complex Theorems (And Vice Versa)
    REAL PROOFS OF COMPLEX THEOREMS (AND VICE VERSA) LAWRENCE ZALCMAN Introduction. It has become fashionable recently to argue that real and complex variables should be taught together as a unified curriculum in analysis. Now this is hardly a novel idea, as a quick perusal of Whittaker and Watson's Course of Modern Analysis or either Littlewood's or Titchmarsh's Theory of Functions (not to mention any number of cours d'analyse of the nineteenth or twentieth century) will indicate. And, while some persuasive arguments can be advanced in favor of this approach, it is by no means obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or, for that matter, that a unified treatment offers any substantial benefit to the student. What is obvious is that the two subjects do interact, and interact substantially, often in a surprising fashion. These points of tangency present an instructor the opportunity to pose (and answer) natural and important questions on basic material by applying real analysis to complex function theory, and vice versa. This article is devoted to several such applications. My own experience in teaching suggests that the subject matter discussed below is particularly well-suited for presentation in a year-long first graduate course in complex analysis. While most of this material is (perhaps by definition) well known to the experts, it is not, unfortunately, a part of the common culture of professional mathematicians. In fact, several of the examples arose in response to questions from friends and colleagues. The mathematics involved is too pretty to be the private preserve of specialists.

Adding these expressions, we have 2 cos q = eiq + e−iq. Subtracting the exponentials leads to an expression for the sine function. Thus, we have the important result that sines and cosines can be written as complex exponentials: 286 partial differential equations eiq + e−iq cos q = , 2 eiq − e−iq sin q = .( 8.1) 2i So, we can write 2pnt 1 2pint − 2pint cos = (e T + e T ).

  • Sunti Delle Conferenze
    Sunti delle Conferenze Analisi complessa a Pisa, 1860-1900 UMBERTO BOTTAZZINI (Università di Milano) Nel 1859 Enrico Betti inaugura gli studi di analisi complessa a Pisa (e di fatto in Italia) pubblicando la traduzione italiana della Inauguraldissertation (1851) di Riemann. L’incontro con il grande matematico conosciuto l’anno prima a Göttingen segna una svolta nella carriera scientifica di Betti, che fa dell’analisi complessa l’oggetto delle sue lezioni e delle sue pubblicazioni (1860/61 e 1862) che incontrano l’approvazione di Riemann, durante il suo soggiorno in Italia. Nella conferenza saranno discussi i contributi all’analisi complessa di Betti, Dini e Bianchi. Ulisse Dini raccolse l’eredità del maestro dapprima in articoli (1870/71, 1871/73, 1881) che suscitano l’interesse della comunità internazionale, e poi in lezioni litografate (1890) che hanno offerto a Luigi Bianchi il modello e il riferimento iniziale per le sue celebri lezioni sulla teoria delle funzioni di variabile complessa in due volumi, apparse prima in versione litografata (1898/99) e poi a stampa in diverse edizioni. Il periodo romano di Luigi Cremona: tra Statica Grafica e Geometria Algebrica, la Biblioteca Nazionale, i Lincei, il Senato ALDO BRIGAGLIA (Università di Palermo) Il periodo romano (1873 – 1903) è considerato il meno produttivo, dal punto di vista scientifico, della vita di Luigi Cremona.

    Notes for the course in Analytic Number Theory G. Molteni Fall 2019 revision 8.0 Disclaimer These are the notes I have written for the course in Analytical Number Theory in A.Y. 2011{'20. I wish to thank my former students (alphabetical order): Gu- glielmo Beretta, Alexey Beshenov, Alessandro Ghirardi, Davide Redaelli and Fe- derico Zerbini, for careful reading and suggestions improving these notes. I am the unique responsible for any remaining error in these notes. The image appearing on the cover shows a picture of the 1859 Riemann's scratch note where in 1932 C. Siegel recognized the celebrated Riemann{Siegel formula (an identity allowing to computed with extraordinary precision the values of the Riemann zeta function inside the critical strip). This image is a resized version of the image in H. M. Edwards Riemann's Zeta Function, Dover Publications, New York, 2001, page 156.
