Giovanni Sansone
Giovanni Sansone (born May 24, 1888 in Porto Empedocle , † October 13, 1979 in Florence ) was an Italian mathematician who dealt with analysis .
Sansone studied from 1906 to 1910 at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and received his doctorate (Laurea) under Luigi Bianchi . He taught at the Scuola Normale Superiore and was professor at the University of Florence from 1927 until his retirement in 1958 . In the 1960s he was chairman of the National Committee for Mathematics of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR).
He dealt with differential equations, differential geometry, numerical mathematics and orthogonal functions.
Enrico Magenes and Carlo Pucci are among his students .
From 1952 to 1958 he was President of the Unione Matematica Italiana . During his presidency, the Centro internazionale matematico estivo (CIME) was founded. He was editor of the Annali di Matematica Pura e Applicata.
In 1978 he became an honorary citizen of Florence and an honorary doctorate from the University of Florence in the same year. He was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei (1953) and received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL in 1942 .
