Carlo Minnaja (born 19 March 1940) is a retired professor of Mathematics, a native Esperanto speaker, and Esperanto translator, author and researcher. He authored many books about Esperanto, in Esperanto and Italian, including a vocabulary of Esperanto, [1] and is a member of the Akademio de Esperanto. [2]
Minnaja graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Pisa in 1963. He earned his doctorate in Mathematics at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, and began his academic career as a professor at the Accademia Navale di Livorno in 1965.
In 1973, Minnaja became a mathematics professor in the University of Padua's Engineering Department. [3] He taught the courses "Mathematics for Electrical Engineering," "History of Mathematics," and "Linear Algebra and Geometry for Information Engineering."
Between 1979 and 1994, he was a member of the Scientific Council of Institute of Computational Linguistics of Pisa. On a Fulbright scholarship, in 1983 and 1984, he was a visiting professor at Virginia Tech and UCLA.
Minnaja is a member of the International Academy of Sciences San Marino and a former vice president. He has also lectured in several European universities, and was author or coauthor of fifty scientific papers. Many of which are his books and articles on the international language Esperanto.
In 1980, he received the Culture Award from the prime minister of Italy.
In 1960, Minnaja became a member of the Board of the World Esperanto Youth Organization, addressing specialized sections and services. [4] He is still very active in the fields of esperantology and Esperanto literature, and is a member of the literary circle Patrol.
In 1981, he translated Carlo Goldoni's The Mistress of the Inn into Esperanto, and in 1982, he published his translations of the poems of Cesare Pavese.
In 1996, he published his Italian-Esperanto dictionary, which, at more than 1400 pages, is the most comprehensive Italian-Esperanto dictionary.
Minnaja is a member of the Scientific Committee of the Centro Italiano di Interlinguistica, works regularly as a reviewer for the esperanto literary magazine Monato and was editor-in-chief of the magazine Literatura Foiro in 2014.
Following a brief list of Carlo Minnaja's books, some others can be found in his Padua University account page. [5]
Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro was an Italian mathematician. He is most famous as the discoverer of tensor calculus.
Giuseppe Vitali was an Italian mathematician who worked in several branches of mathematical analysis. He gives his name to several entities in mathematics, most notably the Vitali set with which he was the first to give an example of a non-measurable subset of real numbers.
Ennio De Giorgi, a member of the House of Giorgi, was an Italian mathematician who worked on partial differential equations and the foundations of mathematics.
Beppo Levi was an Italian mathematician. He published high-level academic articles and books, not only on mathematics, but also on physics, history, philosophy, and pedagogy. Levi was a member of the Bologna Academy of Sciences and of the Accademia dei Lincei.
Eugenio Elia Levi was an Italian mathematician, known for his fundamental contributions in group theory, in the theory of partial differential operators and in the theory of functions of several complex variables: he was a younger brother of Beppo Levi and was killed in action during First World War.
Gaetano Fichera was an Italian mathematician, working in mathematical analysis, linear elasticity, partial differential equations and several complex variables. He was born in Acireale, and died in Rome.
Carlo Somigliana was an Italian mathematician and a classical mathematical physicist, faithful member of the school of Enrico Betti and Eugenio Beltrami. He made important contributions to linear elasticity: the Somigliana integral equation, analogous to Green's formula in potential theory, and the Somigliana dislocations are named after him. Other fields he contribute to include seismic wave propagation, gravimetry and glaciology. One of his ancestors was Alessandro Volta: precisely, the great Como physicist was an ancestor of Carlo's mother, Teresa Volta.
Simone Stratigo was an Italian Greek mathematician and a nautical science expert who studied and lived in Padua and Pavia in 18th-century Italy.
Federico Cafiero was an Italian mathematician known for his contributions in real analysis, measure and integration theory, and in the theory of ordinary differential equations. In particular, generalizing the Vitali convergence theorem, the Fichera convergence theorem and previous results of Vladimir Mikhailovich Dubrovskii, he proved a necessary and sufficient condition for the passage to the limit under the sign of integral: this result is, in some sense, definitive. In the field of ordinary differential equations, he studied existence and uniqueness problems under very general hypotheses for the left member of the given first order equation, developing an important approximation method and proving a fundamental uniqueness theorem.
Sergio Campanato was an Italian mathematician who studied the theory of regularity for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.
Dionigi Galletto was an Italian mathematician and academician.
Alessandro Faedo was an Italian mathematician and politician, born in Chiampo. He is known for his work in numerical analysis, leading to the Faedo–Galerkin method: he was one of the pupils of Leonida Tonelli and, after his death, he succeeded him on the chair of mathematical analysis at the University of Pisa, becoming dean of the faculty of sciences and then rector and exerting a strong positive influence on the development of the university.
Carlo Cattàneo was an Italian academic and one of the general relativity theorists and mathematical physicists in the 1960s and 1970s. He made contributions to general relativity theory, fluid mechanics, and elasticity theory.
Carlo Miranda was an Italian mathematician, working on mathematical analysis, theory of elliptic partial differential equations and complex analysis: he is known for giving the first proof of the Poincaré–Miranda theorem, for Miranda's theorem in complex analysis, and for writing an influential monograph in the theory of elliptic partial differential equations.
Roberto Conti was an Italian mathematician, who contributed to the theory of ordinary differential equations and the development of the comparison method.
Orazio Tedone was an Italian mathematical physicist. He is perhaps best known for the Larmor–Tedone formulae for solving Maxwell's equations.
Onorato Nicoletti was an Italian mathematician.
Maurizio Cornalba is an Italian mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Pietro Corvaja is an Italian mathematician working in Diophantine geometry. He is a professor of geometry at the University of Udine.
Gianfranco Folena was an Italian linguist, philologist, and academic.
