The Italian Mathematical Union (Italian: Unione Matematica Italiana) is a mathematical society based in Italy.
It was founded on December 7, 1922, by Luigi Bianchi, Vito Volterra, and most notably, Salvatore Pincherle, who became the Union's first President.[1][2][3]
History
[edit | edit source]Salvatore Pincherle, professor at the University of Bologna, sent on 31 March 1922 a letter to all Italian mathematicians in which he planned the establishment of a national mathematical society. The creation was inspired by similar initiatives in other countries, such as the Société mathématique de France (1872), the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (1891), the American Mathematical Society (1891) and, above all, the International Mathematical Union (1920).
The most important Italian mathematicians of the time - among all Luigi Bianchi and Vito Volterra - encouraged Pincherle's initiative also by personally sending articles for the future Bulletin; overall, about 180 mathematicians replied to Pincherle's letter. On December 7 of the same year the first meeting was held.
In 1928 the Italian Mathematical Union hosted the International Congress of Mathematicians in Bologna.
Activities
[edit | edit source]The Union's journal is the Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana, which contains two sections: one for research papers, and one for expository articles.
The Italian Mathematical Union awards the following prizes:
- the Bartolozzi Prize
- the Caccioppoli Prize
- the Baldassarri Prize
- the Vinti Prize
- the Stampacchia Medal
- the Tricerri Prize
