Gino Loria
Gino Benedetto Loria (born May 19, 1862 in Mantua , † January 30, 1954 in Genoa ) was an Italian mathematician.
Life
Loria studied mathematics in Mantua , Turin and Pavia and received her doctorate in Turin in 1883. Then he was assistant to Enrico D'Ovidio at the university. From 1886 he was professor of algebra and analytical geometry in Genoa (as a result of a competition that was common at the time). During the persecution by the fascists (Loria was Jewish) he hid with the Waldensians in Val Pellice .
Loria was busy u. a. with projective geometry and special algebraic curves. He became known as a mathematician. He wrote a history of mathematics and dealt specifically with ancient Greek mathematics.
Since 1897 he was editor of the Bolletino di bibliografia e storia delle science matematiche .
Loria was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei , the Turin Academy of Sciences and, since 1913, the Leopoldina .
The asteroid (27056) Ginoloria was named after him on January 28, 2002.
