Product Description
Vito Volterra (1860-1940), an Italian mathematician who strongly influenced the modern development of calculus, played also a decisive and widely acknowledged role in the developments of theoretical biology.

This volume presents the correspondence between Volterra, an Italian mathematician, and numerous scientists in the field of theoretical biology, accompanied with an introductory essay by Ana Millán Gasca, which presents a general survey of the research in the field of mathematical biology in the first decades of the twentieth century. The correspondence contains the transcripts of 425 letters of 19 scientists, published in the original language (french, italian, english). Each correspondence is presented by a biographical profile of the correspondent and accompanied by notes containing information and references to facilitate understanding.The modern developments in mathematical biology took place roughly between 1920 and 1940, a period now referred to as the "Golden Age of Theoretical Biology". The eminent Italian mathematician Vito Volterra played a decisive and widely acknowledged role in these developments.

Volterra's specific project was to transfer the model and the concepts of classical mechanics to biology, constructing a sort of "rational mechanics" and an "analytic mechanics" of biological associations. The new subject was thus to be equipped with a solid experimental or at least empirical basis, also in this case following the tried and tested example of mathematical physics. Although very few specific features of this reductionist programme have actually survived, Volterra's contribution was decisive, as is now universally acknowledged, in encouraging fresh studies in the field of mathematical biology. Even today, the primary reference in the literature of the field of population dynamics consists of Volterra's work and the descriptive schemata (the "models", in modern parlance) he proposed.

The present book aims to fill this historiographic gap by providing an exhaustive collection of the correspondence between Volterra and numerous other scientists on the topic of mathematical biology.

The book begins with an introductory essay by Ana Millán Gasca, which aims at giving a picture of the research field of biomathematics in the "Golden Age", and shows the importance of the correspondence in this context. This is followed by a transcript of the correspondence ordered by the correspondent's name. Each item is preceded by a biographical profile of the correspondent and accompanied by notes containing information and references to facilitate understanding.

The book will be found useful not only by science historians but also by all those - in particular, biomathematicians and biologists - with an interest in the origins of and events in a branch of learning that has undergone an astonishing development. Many of the problems discussed - in particular that of empirical verification - appear extremely topical even today and in some cases could even fuel reflection on topics still open to research. ...

Januar 1642 in Arcetri bei Florenz) war ein italienischer Philosoph, Mathematiker, Physiker und Astronom, der bahnbrechende Entdeckungen auf mehreren Gebieten der Naturwissenschaften machte. Galileo Galilei stammte aus einer verarmten Florentiner Patrizierfamilie. Sein Familienzweig hatte den Namen eines bedeutenden Vorfahren angenommen, des Arztes Galileo Bonaiuti (15. Jahrhundert). Galileis Vater Vincenzo war Tuchhändler, Musiker und Musiktheoretiker und hatte als solcher auch mathematische Kenntnisse und Interessen; er untersuchte den Zusammenhang zwischen Saitenspannung und Tonhöhe und erkannte dabei eine nichtlineare Beziehung der Physik. Galilei wurde als Novize im Kloster der Vallombrosaner erzogen und zeigte Neigung, in den Benediktinerorden einzutreten, wurde aber von seinem Vater nach Hause geholt und 1580 zum Medizin-Studium nach Pisa geschickt. Nach vier Jahren brach er sein Studium...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1833 ... Read more

Extrait : Carlo Renaldini ou Rinaldini, né en 1615, à Ancône, mort dans cette ville en 1698 (parfois 1679), est un ingénieur militaire, mathématicien, physicien et philosophe italien membre de l'Académie dell'esperimento. Ami de Galilée, il utilisait les notations algébriques de François Viète, puis, vers la fin de sa vie, celles de Descartes. On lui doit sinon l'idée du moins la construction du premier thermomètre à points fixes. médaillon de Carlo Renaldini Né dans la noblesse originaire de Sienne, le conte Carlo Renaldini suvit ses premières études à l'Université de Bologne. Il se mit au service du souverain Pontife Urbain VIII et reçut de Carlo Taddeo Barberini, le neveu du Pape, la charge de superviser les fortifications de Ferrare, Bondeno et Comacchio. Surnommé le simplicius du Cimiento, lecteur de l'université de Pise en 1644, professeur de mathématiques de cette université de 1649 à 1666, il fut proche de Galilée, et s'en éloigna par prudence, et fut lié surtout à Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (1608-1679) auquel il dut son surnom. En correspondance avec Vincenzo Viviani, il devint l'un des membres fondateurs et les plus assidus de l'Académie du Cimento.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Vito Volterra (3 May 1860 - 11 October 1940) was an Italian mathematician and physicist, known for his contributions to mathematical biology and integral equations. Born in Ancona, then part of the Papal States, into a very poor Jewish family, Volterra showed early promise in mathematics before attending the University of Pisa, where he fell under the influence of Enrico Betti, and where he became professor of rational mechanics in 1883. He immediately started work developing his theory of functionals which led to his interest and later contributions in integral and integro-differential equations. His work is summarised in his book Theory of functionals and of Integral and Integro-Differential Equations (1930). In 1892, he became professor of mechanics at the University of Turin and then, in 1900, professor of mathematical physics at the University of Rome La Sapienza. Volterra had grown up during the final stages of the Risorgimento when the Papal States were finally annexed by Italy and, like his mentor Betti, he was an enthusiastic patriot, being named by the king Victor Emmanuel III as a senator of the Kingdom of Italy in 1905. In the same year, he began to develop the theory of dislocations in crystals that was later to become important in the un...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Extrait : Giosuè Alessandro Michele Carducci est un poète italien né à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta, le 27 juillet 1835, et décédé à Bologne le 16 février 1907. Il fut le premier Italien à recevoir le Prix Nobel de littérature, en 1906. Il écrivit ses premières pièces en vers à l'âge de 13 ans avant de devenir un écrivain qui influencera profondément la vie intellectuelle de l'Italie du siècle. Son œuvre la plus connue est Odes Barbares, publiée en 1882. En 1906, malade et faible, il ne put se déplacer pour recevoir le prix Nobel. Il mourut l'année suivante. Il naît en 1835 à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta dans la Versilia en Toscane, de Michele et Ildegonda Celli. La famille déménage à Bolgheri, hameau de Castagneto dans le Maremme en 1839, où le père, impliqué dans les grèves des carbonari de 1831, exerçait le métier de médecin. C'est dans ce pays, souvent évoqué dans sa poésie, que le jeune Carducci passe une enfance tranquille. Carducci entreprend ses premières lectures à Bolgheri sous l'égide de son père, homme doté d'une bonne culture classique. En 1849 la famille s'installe à Florence, où le jeune Giosuè complète ses études chez les Scolopi, acquérant une bonne base en littérature et en rhétorique. En 1853, après avoir passé le concours, il s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres de l'École normale supérieure de Pise. Il en ressort diplômé en 1855 après avoir écrit une thèse sur la poésie de chevalerie, et publie ses pre...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
