| Theorem of the day from Robin Whitty | Mathematician of the week |
Giuseppe Peano (1858 - 1932)
Questions that pertain to the foundations of mathematics, although treated by many in recent times, still lack a satisfactory solution. The difficulty has its main source in the ambiguity of language.
Opening of the paper Arithmetices principia in which he introduced axioms for the integers.
