	Algebraic surface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the case of geometry over the complex number field, an algebraic surface is therefore of complex dimension two (as a complex manifold, when it is non-singular) and so of dimension four as a smooth manifold.
		The theory of algebraic surfaces is much more complicated than that of algebraic curves (including the compact Riemann surfaces, which are genuine surfaces of (real) dimension two).
		The birational geometry of algebraic surfaces is rich, because of blowing up (also known as a monoidal transformation); under which a point is replaced by the curve of all limiting tangent directions coming into it (a projective line).

	Italian school of algebraic geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These figures were all involved in algebraic geometry, rather than the pursuit of projective geometry as synthetic geometry, which during the period under discussion was a huge (in volume terms) but secondary subject (when judged by its importance as research).
		The new algebraic geometry that would succeed the Italian school was distinguished also by the intensive use of algebraic topology.
		For a while it may have seemed that the tradition of the Italian school would possibly be lost, in the sense that the old papers had become hard to read for the new generation of geometers.

	Geometry - LoveToKnow 1911
		Pythagoras, seeking the key of the universe in arithmetic and geometry, investigated logically the principles underlying the, known propositions; and this resulted in the formulation of definitions, axioms and postulates which, in addition to founding a science of geometry, permitted a crystallization, fractional, it is true, of the amorphous collection of material at hand.
		Pythagorean geometry was essentially a geometry of areas and solids; its goal was the regular solids the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedronwhich symbolized the five elements of Greek cosmology.
		The many discoveries made by this school were facilitated in no small measure by the clarification of the axioms and definitions, thc logical sequence of propositions which was adopted, and, mor especially, by the formulation of the analytic method, i,e.

	More on Algebraic Geometry
		Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, as the name suggests, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry.
		In classical algebraic geometry, the main objects of interest are the vanishing sets of collections of polynomials, meaning the set of all points that simultaneously satisfy one or more polynomial equations.
		Algebraic geometry was developed largely by the Italian geometers in the early part of the 20th century.

	math lessons - Scheme (mathematics)
		Schemes were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck so as to broaden the notion of algebraic variety; some consider schemes to be the basic object of study of modern algebraic geometry.
		The algebraic geometers of the Italian school had often used the somewhat foggy concept of "generic point" when proving statements about algebraic varieties.
		Subsequent work on algebraic spaces and algebraic stacks by Deligne, Mumford, and Michael Artin, originally in the context of moduli problems, have significantly enhanced the geometric flexibility of modern algebraic geometry.

		One would have left the courses of this apostle of geometry abiding by both his example of dignity and straightness that he was for his entire life and by the optimistic belief the mathematics, in general, and, especially, geometry have a high and admirable educational value for young people.
		At that time (1935) modern algebra had already come to life (through the work of Emmy Noether and the important treatise of B L van der Waerden), but while it was being applied to some aspects of the foundations of algebraic geometry by van der Waerden..
		It is shown that in the latter case the geometry depends on the material composing the measuring rods whereas in the gravitational case the geometry is universal because of the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass.

		The birth of the Italian school of algebraic geometry
		Segre was still very young when he became the leading light in the field of algebraic geometry, making Turin, at the end of the XIXth century, one of the most important points of reference for scholars in Italy and across Europe.
		In the light of the unpublished lecture notebooks, and of the testimony of students and colleagues of the time, it is also possible to trace the characteristics of Segre's university teaching, showing how his working method reflected his perception of the important role higher studies should play in the education of the young.

		Italian research in logic education related to primary school is often interested in pointing out the differences between natural language and the language of logic and to exploit the opportunities to improve linguistic competence.
		He argues that in high school students learn proofs in the same way another could learn a poem and are not accustomed to construct mathematical statements themselves and recognize the relationships between statements and proofs.
		This study is more related to intuitive geometry, but it is also interesting from the viewpoint of logic as far as the activities have promoted students' reflections on ideas such as proofs, counterexamples, paradoxes and on the distinction between example-based argumentation and mathematical proof.

	AARMS Summer School 2004 - Syllabi
		Algebraic Geometry is the study of curves, surfaces, and higher-dimensional geometrical objects that are defined by polynomial equations.
		The primary feature of algebraic geometry that distinguishes itself from other geometry subjects is the intimate interplay of the geometry with the algebra.
		Virtually all objects in algebraic geometry come with an algebraic structure associated to them (usually a ring), and it is a major theme of the subject that the geometry can be derived from the algebra as well as the reverse, to a large extent.

		From the historical point of view the most significant is the notebook for 1890-91, Introduzione alla geometria sugli enti algebrici semplicemente infiniti, because it is the first to be devoted to the geometry of the algebraic curve, and because a substantial part of it merged with the fundamental memoir of 1894.

		Hilbert refers to Poincaré's proof for the uniformization of algebraic curves and writes: "As Poincaré was the first to prove, it is always possible to reduce any algebraic relation between two variables to uniformity by the use of automorphic functions of one variable.
		That is, if any algebraic equation in two variables be given, there can always be found for these variables two such single valued automorphic functions of a single variable that their substitution renders the given algebraic equation an identity.

	Article on Piero, page 1
		By the indirect evidence of his own writings, Piero must have attended such a school, because his books resemble, in form, the abacus school texts: they are, like those texts, long series of worked examples, not really meant to be read, but to be worked through.
		However, the abacus school and the occasional look at a classical mathematical work in manuscript copy hardly form a promising basis for doing original mathematics, especially at a time when original mathematics was hardly thought of.
		The lack of a decent notation prevented these relationships from being expressed algebraically, but it was understood that the rules for doing the arithmetic of a given problem, which would be given as a numerical example, fell into patterns which amounted to algebraic formulae.

		There was a flourishing Italian school of algebraic geometry in the first half of the twentieth century, but it was effectively wiped out by the World War II.
		Grothendieck combined the ideas of category theory with the traditional studies of algebraic geometry to raise the latter to a new level of abstraction.

		Jules Hoüel (1823-1886) was one of the most active promoters in France of the new non-Euclidean geometries, and the 65 letters written to him between 1868 and 1881 by Eugenio Beltrami give valuable insights into the attitude of the scientific world to the new geometries.
