Dauntless Elite Cistern

Mathematics in the history of united



Il Centro PRISTEM dell’Università Bocconi di Milano organizza presso l’Università “Carlo Bo” di Urbino dall’8 al 10 aprile il corso di aggiornamento/formazione “ La Matematica nella storia dell’Italia unita ”.

In linea con le celebrazioni per i 150 anni dell’Unità, che si prospettano come un importante appuntamento storico e culturale per riflettere insieme sulla moderna storia italiana, sarà l’occasione per discutere il ruolo svolto da scienza e scienziati per lo sviluppo del Paese.
Il Convegno ripercorrerà nelle diverse fasi storiche successive all’Unità – i primi decenni del nuovo Stato, gli anni della prima guerra mondiale, quelli del fascismo, la repubblica e la seconda metà del secolo – il cammino percorso dalla Matematica italiana: le sue acquisizioni, i contatti internazionali, i rapporti con la Fisica e le altre discipline, la partecipazione dei suoi esponenti alla vita scientifica e sociale del Paese. La descrizione costituirà l’occasione per ribadire l’importanza della Matematica nella vita sociale e culturale del Paese.
Verranno sottolineati i momenti “forti” di questa storia ma anche, in una prospettiva che vuole tenersi accuratamente lontana hagiographic tones, missed opportunities to embed scientific presence in the Italian reality. The analysis then moves on the responsibilities of the political class, on the composition of our ruling class, the consistency of the industrial, dialogue between different cultures, attitudes held by the same mathematical against the social context. Reflections on the scientific development - the one that has materialized and what is not, what could be and was not - are a valuable key to understanding many situations in which our society is immersed today.
