Giulio Vivanti

Giulio Benedetto Isacco Vivanti (24 May 1859 to 19 November 1949) was an Italian Jewish mathematician. He spent most of his academic career at the University of Pavia and the University of Milan. He is recorded as a mentor of Bruno de Finetti, so he stands as a teacher in the line of Italian mathematical instruction that led into the twentieth century. The Vivanti-Pringsheim theorem, which carries his name jointly with that of Pringsheim, is the result the encyclopedia article associates with him. The single reference given for his life is an Italian study of how Jewish mathematicians contributed to the emerging Italian nation, which places him within that community of scholars.
