Beppo levi biography of martin lewis

Beppo Levi 14 May — 28 August was an Italian mathematician. He published high-level academic articles and books on mathematics as well as on physics , history , philosophy , and pedagogy. He was an older brother of Eugenio Elia Levi. It was there that Levi did most of his work from until his death in In Levi founded Mathematicae Notae , the first mathematical journal in Argentina.

Beppo Levi was born on May 14, , in Turin, Italy to a Jewish family.

He died on August 28, , in Rosario , Argentina, and was buried in the Jewish cemetery there. His early work studied singularities on algebraic curves and surfaces. He also studied the arithmetic of elliptic curves. He classified them up to isomorphism, not only over C , but also over Q. Next he studied what in modern terminology would be the subgroup of rational torsion points on an elliptic curve over Q : he proved that certain groups were realizable and that others were not.

He essentially formulated the torsion conjecture for elliptic curves over the rational numbers, providing a complete list of possibilities should be, which was formulated independently by Andrew Ogg about 60 years later and finally proved by Barry Mazur in Media related to Beppo Levi at Wikimedia Commons.

Beppo Levi was an Italian mathematician who wrote articles on logic, differential equations, complex variable, as well as on the border between analysis and physics.
