Depuis 1897, tous les quatre ans, l'élite mondiale des mathématiques se réunit lors de congrès internationaux où sont exposées et débattues les avancées les plus significatives de la discipline. L'histoire de ces congrès nous montre à quel point les mathématiques, souvent perçues comme le fruit de la création individuelle d'un nombre restreint de génies, résultent en réalité de l'interaction entre des personnes, sujettes, comme nous tous, aux bouleversements politiques et économiques qui secouent la société.

This book examines the life and work of mathematician Giovanni Battista Guccia, founder of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and its renowned journal, the Rendiconti del Circolo matematico di Palermo. The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia’s activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler’s Acta Mathematica in Stockholm. Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.

This volume contains a selection of articles on the theme ""vector measures, integration and applications"" together with some related topics. The articles consist of both survey style and original research papers, are written by experts in the area and present a succinct account of recent and up-to-date knowledge. The topic is interdisciplinary by nature and involves areas such as measure and integration (scalar, vector and operator-valued), classical and harmonic analysis, operator theory, non-commutative integration, and functional analysis. The material is of interest to experts, young res

Slowly, but surely, it is becoming a tradition that biannual international conf- encesonVectorMeasuresandIntegration aretakingplace.The?rstmeetingwas held in Valencia (Spain) in 2004 with the respectable total of 35 participants and the second meeting in Sevilla (Spain) in 2006with 50 participants.It became clear at the latter meeting that there was already a broader interest level in the area generally(asitshouldbe).Relatedareasfromoperatortheory,functionalanalysis, Banach (and Fr´ echet) spaces and lattices, non-commutative integration, function theory, classical and harmonic analysis, mathematical physics, and applied ma- ematics havetraditionallyused methods and techniquesfrom vector measuresand integration theory and, simultaneously, have themselves provided new problems, directions and impetus for the theory of vector measures and integration. So, for the third meeting, held in Eichst¨ att (Germany) in September 2008, a natural and deliberate step was taken to put a larger emphasis on applications andconnectionswith other areasofmathematics.Accordingly,the conferencetitle was modi?ed to Vector Measures, Integration and Applications , which is also re?ected in the title of this volume. Correspondingly, the attendance grew to 84 participants, which illustrates that the area is really thriving. Most importantly, there was also a healthy mixture of oldies  and younger researchers in att- dance, coming from 21 countries. In addition, there was a pleasant and interesting combination of abstract theory, concrete applications and open problems. Needless to say, the fourth meeting is already ?xed; it will take place in late 2010 in Murcia (Spain). Thisvolumeconsistsofaselectionofrefereedpapersbasedontalkspresented at the conference. The included papers represent rather well most of the topics covered in the conference.
