Abstract
The formulations that Peano gave to many mathematical notions at the end of the 19th century were so perfect and modern that they have become standard today. A formal language of logic that he created, enabled him to perceive mathematics with great precision and depth. He described mathematics axiomatically basing the reasoning exclusively on logical and set-theoretical primitive terms and properties, which was revolutionary at that time. Yet, numerous Peano’s contributions remain either unremembered or underestimated.
期刊介绍:
DISSERTATIONES MATHEMATICAE publishes long research papers (preferably 50-100 pages) in any area of mathematics. An important feature of papers accepted for publication should be their utility for a broad readership of specialists in the domain. In particular, the papers should be to some reasonable extent self-contained. The paper version is considered as primary.
The following criteria are taken into account in the reviewing procedure: correctness, mathematical level, mathematical novelty, utility for a broad readership of specialists in the domain, language and editorial aspects. The Editors have adopted appropriate procedures to avoid ghostwriting and guest authorship.
