Förlagets beskrivning
The Italian mathematician Mario Pieri (1860-1913) played an integral part in the research groups of Corrado Segre and Giuseppe Peano, and thus had a significant, yet somewhat underappreciated impact on several branches of mathematics, particularly on the development of the foundations of philosophy and mathematics in the years around the turn of the 20th century. This book is the second in a series of three volumes that are dedicated to countering that neglect and comprehensively examining Pieri's life, mathematical work, and influence in such diverse fields as mathematical logic, algebraic geometry, number theory, inversive geometry, vector analysis, and differential geometry.Mario Pieri on the Foundations of Philosophy and Mathematics introduces readers to Pieri's career and his studies in foundations, from both historical and modern viewpoints, placing his life and research in context and tracing his influence on his contemporaries as well as more recent mathematicians. The text also includes translations and commentary on Pieri's original analyses on projective geometry, transformational geometry.Combining an engaging exposition, little-known historical information, exhaustive references and an excellent index, this text will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and historians with a general knowledge of logic and advanced mathematics
