20 anni fa – anzi qualcuno in più – iniziava le sue pubblicazioni “Lettera Matematica PRISTEM”, espressione di un gruppo di ricerca della “Bocconi” cui aderiscono anche docenti e studiosi di altre Università. La “Lettera” ha rappresentato un tentativo coraggioso di svecchiare la comunicazione matematica, di renderla meno accademica e più giornalistica con l’uso delle immagini, del colore e di un linguaggio diretto. Un tentativo di inserire la Matematica nei più ampi processi che riguardano la scuola e la società. In questo libro, i tre direttori della rivista sfogliano le sue annate per ricordare storie e personaggi (matematici e non) attorno a cui la “Lettera” è cresciuta e che di fatto hanno contribuito alla formazione della sua linea editoriale. Le testimonianze, i ricordi e i commenti sono seguiti anno per anno da un articolo comparso quell’anno sulla “Lettera”. Ne esce una descrizione del mondo matematico, visto dall’interno, molto più vivace di quanto solitamente si pensa che sia. Altro che semplice calcolo! La Matematica va avanti e la “Lettera” racconta in quali direzioni. Talora procede con appassionate discussioni e qualche polemica che accompagna la ricerca o l’insegnamento o la gestione delle istituzioni scientifiche: anche di queste, in 20 anni, la “Lettera” ha cercato di dare puntualmente conto.

The scientific personalities of Luigi Cremona, Eugenio Beltrami, Salvatore Pincherle, Federigo Enriques, Beppo Levi, Giuseppe Vitali, Beniamino Segre and of several other mathematicians who worked in Bologna in the century 1861–1960 are examined by different authors, in some cases providing different view points. Most contributions in the volume are historical; they are reproductions of original documents or studies on an original work and its impact on later research. The achievements of other mathematicians are investigated for their present-day importance.

This book describes Italian mathematics in the period between the two World Wars. We analyze its development by focusing on both the interior and the external influences. Italian mathematics in that period was shaped by a colorful array of strong personalities who concentrated their efforts on a select number of fields and won international recognition and respect in an incredibly short time. Consequently, Italy was considered a third "mathematical power" after France and Germany, and qualified Italian universities became indispensable stops on the "tour", organized for the improvement of young foreign mathematicians. In the 1930s Italian mathematics had to face the increasing growth of other countries' mathematics, which forced consideration of new mathematical topics. This comparison between the interior and exterior perspective makes this history particularly compelling. At that time, Italy was also dominated by a fascist regime. This political situation and the social and academic structure of Italian society are included in the analysis as influences external to mathematics itself. The authors have provided a fascinating study of a most difficult time in the history of the world and of mathematics.
