Klappentext zu „The Legacy of Mario Pieri in Geometry and Arithmetic “
This book is the first in a series of three volumes that comprehensively examine Mario Pieri's life, mathematical work and influence. The book introduces readers to Pieri's career and his studies in foundations, from both historical and modern viewpoints.
Included in this volume are the first English translations, along with analyses, of two of his most important axiomatizations - one in arithmetic and one in geometry. The book combines an engaging exposition, little-known historical notes, exhaustive references and an excellent index. And yet the book requires no specialized experience in mathematical logic or the foundations of geometry.

Autoren-Porträt von Elena Anne Marchisotto, James T. Smith
The Italian mathematician Mario Pieri (1860-1913) had a significant, yet somewhat underappreciated impact on several branches of mathematics, particularly on the development of algebraic geometry and the foundations of mathematics in the years around the turn of the 20 th century. This book 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. This work is a combination of engaging exposition, little-known historical information, exhaustive references and an excellent index.Bibliographische Angaben

Rezension zu „The Legacy of Mario Pieri in Geometry and Arithmetic “
"This book portrays Pieri as an individual of exceptional ability, who responded to the influence of many of his contemporaries; and they, in turn, acknowledged the quality of Pieri's work. In fact, there is a sixty-page section in the first chapter containing biographical sketches of the lives and work of almost a hundred such mathematicians. Moreover, the general historical analysis and interpretative commentary, whilst focussing particularly upon the achievements of Mario Pieri, also extends to many of the general mathematical developments of his era. The book is very thoroughly documented and contains an abundance of photographic portraits. It culminates with an extensive bibliography and an accurately compiled index, and it will undoubtedly appeal to those concerned with the history of 'modern mathematics', as well as being of interest to the general readership specified by the authors." -MAA Reviews
