Opere matematiche di Francesco Brioschi

Abstract

THERE could not have been a more fitting tribute to the memory of Francesco Brioschi than the publication of his collected papers in quarto form. In order to carry out such an undertaking, a committee was formed shortly after his death consisting of Profs. G. Ascoli, E. Beltrami, G. Colombo, L. Cremona, G. Negri and G. Schiaparelli, and the result is a work of which the present is the first volume. It contains fifty-four of Brioschi's papers, of which forty were originally published during the period 1851—1857 in the Annali di Scienze matematiche e fisiche under the editorship of Barnaba Tortolini, and the remainder appeared in the Annali di maternatica pura ed applicata, which formed a continuation of the previous journal, during the years 1858—1861. The last of the series is Brioschi's classical monograph on the theory of covariants and invariants of binary forms and their principal applications. The arrangement adopted has thus been to classify Brioschi's papers according to the journals in which they are published and not according to date or subject-matter.
