Extractions: In Memoriam: Ugo Fano By Mitio Inokuti With the passing of Ugo Fano on 13 February 2001, the Radiation Research Society lost an influential founding member. A broader community dearly misses a great theoretical physicist. Ugo Fano was born to Rosa Cassin and Gino Fano (1871-1952), professor of mathematics at Turin, Italy, specializing in differential geometry. Having studied mathematics first at the University of Turin, the younger Fano turned to physics under the influence of his cousin, Giulio Racah (1909-1965), a physicist known for the powerful theory of angular momentum. Then Fano was fortunate to receive postdoctoral training from two giants in modern physics: Enrico Fermi at Rome in 1934-1936 and Werner Heisenberg at Leipzig in 1936-1937. In 1939 Fano married Camilla ("Lilla") Lattes, who not only kept a comfortable home but also collaborated with Fano in science and worked as a teacher for many years. In the same year the couple emigrated to the United States. Fano’s American career began with pioneering work in 1940-1944 in what was later to be called radiation biology with M. Demerec and others, at the Department of Genetics of the Carnegie Institution at Cold Spring Harbor. It is noteworthy that, after a seminar in Rome by P. Jordan on x-ray effects on genetic material, Fermi had suggested to Fano that the biological action of radiation would be an important and suitable topic for study. Fano’s papers in this period concerned chromosomal rearrangements, mutations, lethal effects, and genetic effects of X-rays and neutrons on

Joseph Malkevitch: Block Design Tidbit This particular finite projective plane is known as the fano Plane, in honor of gino fano, the Italian mathematician who was an early pioneer in the study http://www.york.cuny.edu/~malk/tidbits/blockdesign-tidbit.html
Extractions: The theory of block designs (and the theory of more general structures called designs that it spawned) evolved from a variety of sources. On the one hand concepts related to block designs had roots in statistics. The idea was to develop combinatorial structures which would help statisticians determine if, for example, certain identical plants responded better or worse to different fertilizers or other differences in the the way they were grown. Since each plant was growing in a slightly different place in what was hopefully a uniform field, the goal was to try to make sure that any differences that were observed in the plants was due to the different fertilizers rather than mere random variations. Another source of interest in block designs was to try to extend geometric ideas from the infinite geometries of Euclid, the sphere (real projective geometry), and Bolyai and Lobachevsky to finite analogs of these geometries. Thus, there was interest in constructing finite affine (Euclidean geometries), finite projective geoemtries, and finite Bolyai-Lobachevsky geometries.
Lecture Notes 1 - Math 3210 Can be traced back to gino fano (1892) with some ideas going back to von Staudt (1852). There are two undefined terms points, lines. http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~wcherowi/courses/m3210/hg3lc1.html
Extractions: " Vish illustrates the important principle that any definition of a word must inevitably involve other words, which require further definitions. The only way to avoid a vicious circle is to regard certain primitive concepts as being so simple and obvious that we agree to leave them undefined. Similarly, the proof of any statement uses other statements; and since we must begin somewhere, we agree to leave a few simple statements unproved. These primitive statements are called axioms." - Coxeter, Projective Geometry , pg. 6. Example : Vish using The American Heritage Dictionary

Geometry Page G 8 This finite geometry was explored by gino fano in 1892. Finite projective geometries were studied by Oswald Veblen beginning in 1906. http://www.csc.vsc.edu/Math/Part1/G8doc2.html
Extractions: G FINITE GEOMETRIES* Finite or "miniature" geometries have only a few axioms and theorems and a finite number of elements; that is, a finite number of points or lines or "things to work with." The study of finite geometries provides an opportunity to study geometries with a simple structure. Historically, the first finite geometry was a three-dimensional geometry, each plane containing seven points and seven lines. This finite geometry was explored by Gino Fano in 1892. Finite projective geometries were studied by Oswald Veblen beginning in 1906. Since that time, a great many finite geometries have been or are being studied. In general, all finite geometries have point and line as undefined terms. A line in finite geometry is assumed to have more than one, but only a finite number of points. Three-Point Geometry Undefined terms: point, line, on. Axioms: Definition 1. Two lines with a point in common are called intersecting lines. Theorem 1. Two distinct lines are on exactly one point. *Source: Smart, J. Modern Geometries . 3rd Ed. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1988.
Extractions: Notes : Gino Casagrande The Duke Valentino had returned from Lombardy, where he had been to clear himself with the King of France from the calumnies which had been raised against him by the Florentines concerning the rebellion of Arezzo and other towns in the Val di Chiana, and had arrived at Imola, whence he intended with his army to enter upon the campaign against Giovanni Bentivogli, the tyrant of Bologna: for he intended to bring that city under his domination, and to make it the head of his Romagnian duchy.
A Discrete Geometrical Gem Photo of gino fano. Convince yourself that if the fano configuration could be embedded in the Euclidean plane with 7 points and 7 threepoint straight lines http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/archive/sylvester3.html
Extractions: In using the ideas above we have freely used properties of Euclidean geometry. Note that we were not explicit about the "plane" that the Sylvester Theorem holds in. We do have to be careful, because the result does not hold in the finite projective geometry known as the Fano Plane (or Fano Configuration) shown below. This plane with 7 points and 7 lines has exactly three points on each line. However, one line looks "peculiar." It is the line L in the diagram and contains the three points P , P , and P which is shown as a "circle" above. It follows from the Sylvester-Gallai Theorem that no matter how we might try to position 7 points in the Euclidean plane so as to lie on 7 lines as in the Fano configuration, we can not succeed!. The Fano plane is named for Gino Fano (1871-1952), the Italian geometer who pioneered the study of finite geometries and point configuration and whose two sons (one, Ugo, a physicist and the other, Robert, an engineer) had distinguished careers in the United States.

Some of these are already posted at this site; further notes will be added by professors and students as we go along, so do check this site frequently. The names of the student speakers, more lecture titles, and other details will be added to the list of talks as they become known. There are some useful notes posted by students of this seminar. As inspiring examples from the Fall '03 semester, look in particular at Aron Samkoff's Non-Euclidean Geometry and Vidya Venkateswaran's Fields and Constructible Numbers.
