Davide Besso (28 July 1845 – 8 August 1906)[1][2][3][4][5] was a Italian mathematician, best known today for being the founder of the magazine Periodico di Matematica dedicated to high school teachers.
Biography[edit]
Besso was the last of four children of Salvatore (1804-1878) and Regina Cusin. His family, rich merchants, alongside those of the Cusin and Segre, belonged to the Jewish community that was gathering in the city of Trieste. He graduated in mathematics in 1866 at the University of Pisa. Subsequently, he dedicated himself to teaching at high schools in Rome. As mentioned above, in 1886 he founded a mathematics magazine for high school teachers which he called Periodico di Matematica.
In 1888, by competitive examination, he obtained a teaching position at the University of Modena, where he taught Calculus until 1896. In the same year (he was very wealthy, belonging to the Trieste upper class) he decided to take early retirement.[6]
Besso was the uncle of Michele Besso[7], an Italian-Swiss engineer.
