Oltre il mondo inanimato: la storia travagliata della matematizzazione dei fenomeni biologici e sociali

Giorgio Israel (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Fin dalla seconda metà del Settecento, i successi conseguiti nella matematizzazione dei fenomeni fisici stimolarono a realizzare analoghi risultati nel campo dei fenomeni della vita e dei processi sociali ed economici. Fino ad ora, la storia della matematizzazione in questi contesti ha ricevuto scarsa attenzione. Scopo di questo articolo è di tracciare una panoramica delle linee principali dello sviluppo storico di queste forme di matematizzazione, di descrivere i risultati ottenuti e i problemi...

On non-absolutely convergent integrals

Štefan Schwabik (1996)

Mathematica Bohemica

The influence of Jan Marik in the field of non absolute integration is described in the plane of Czech mathematics. A short historical account on the development of integration theory in the Czech region is presented in this connection together with the recent Riemann sum approach to the general Perron integral.

On stable polynomials

Miloslav Nekvinda (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The article is a survey on problem of the theorem of Hurwitz. The starting point of explanations is Schur's decomposition theorem for polynomials. It is showed how to obtain the well-known criteria on the distribution of roots of polynomials. The theorem on uniqueness of constants in Schur's decomposition seems to be new.

On the exchanges between Wolfgang Doeblin and Bohuslav Hostinský

Laurent Mazliak (2007)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

We present the letters sent by Wolfgang Doeblin to Bohuslav Hostinský between 1936 and 1938. They concern some aspects of the general theory of Markov chains and the solutions of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation that Doeblin was then establishing for his PhD thesis.

On the genesis of symbolic dynamics as we know it

Ethan M. Coven, Zbigniew H. Nitecki (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We trace the beginning of symbolic dynamics-the study of the shift dynamical system-as it arose from the use of coding to study recurrence and transitivity of geodesics. It is our assertion that neither Hadamard's 1898 paper, nor the Morse-Hedlund papers of 1938 and 1940, which are normally cited as the first instances of symbolic dynamics, truly present the abstract point of view associated with the subject today. Based in part on the evidence of a 1941 letter from Hedlund to Morse, we place the...

On the genesis of the concept of covariant differentiation

Luca Dell’ Aglio (1996)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the genesis of the concept of covariant differentiation, which is interpreted as arising out of two traditions running through 19th-century research work. While the first tradition, of an algebraic nature, was responsible for the “algorithmic” emergence of the concept, the second, analytical in character, was essentially concerned with the import of covariant differentiation as a broader kind of differentiation. The methodological contrast that these two...
