If he had remained in Italy, perhaps that would have been officially correct, but in the USA no regulation prohibits a hyphen in this name. I didn't mean that your comment on this Wikipedia article had anything to do with fascism; I meant that the practice of a government dictating how names should be spelled or punctuated sounds like a remnant of fascism.

    Extractions: Version for printing Gian-Carlo Rota 's father, Giovanni Rota, was a civil engineer and architect who specialised in anti-earthquake structures. Giovanni Rota was a prominent anti-fascist and his name appears on a death list constructed by Mussolini. Gian-Carlo was born into a talented family in Vigevano, many members of his family had achieved fame in their areas of expertise, for example one of Gian-Carlo's uncles, Flaiano, wrote scripts for Federico Fellini's films, including La Dolce Vita. Gian-Carlo was educated in Italy up to the age of thirteen in 1945. This was near the end of World War II and, due to Giovanni Rota's anti-fascist views, the family was forced to leave Vigevano to escape Mussolini's death squads. Giovanni Rota took his family to northern Italy where they hide for a time before crossing the border into Switzerland. The family eventually escaped to Ecuador where Gian-Carlo completed his secondary school education. The positive side to this remarkable escape story was that Rota was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and French. Rota entered the United States in 1950 at the age of eighteen to undertake his university studies. He entered Princeton University in 1950 and received a BA summa cum laude in 1953. After graduating, Rota entered Yale University where he studied for his Master's Degree in Mathematics which was awarded in 1954. He then undertook doctoral studies, supervised by Jacob T Schwartz, and he was awarded a PhD from Yale in 1956 for his thesis

    Extractions: Norbert Wiener Professor of Mathematics In recognition of Gian-Carlo Rota's long service and contributions to the M.I.T. department of mathematics, there will be a one day conference devoted to Rota's memory. This event will take place on October 9th, 1999, and will be part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Moore Instructorship M.I.T. has established a memorial fund for the purpose of honoring Gian-Carlo Rota's legacy. Assuming that the funds raised are sufficient, we plan to use the money to underwrite the construction of a ``Rota Reading Room'' in the M.I.T. library. This room would house a selection of the many books which Rota contributed to M.I.T. over the years as well as some of the other interesting and rare volumes in the M.I.T. archives. It is our intention to create an attractive space which will be a resource for everyone.

    Extractions: Gian-Carlo Rota (1932-1999) One of Gian-Carlo Rota's virtues lay in the fact that he was welcoming not just to a few intimates, but to a large community of mathematicians. In that sense, there is nothing ``special'' about the following recollections, however precious I find them. Any of his students and very many who were not will recognize their experiences here. all of them.'' But one of the first papers I do remember reading was Rota's paper with Joni on coalgebras and bialgebras in combinatorics; I still remember the excitement I had seeing children's puzzles put into an algebraic framework. It was the ability to ask ``Why?'' in mathematics and actually get a solid answer that first attracted me to math. It was Rota's attention to answering that ``Why?'' in as deep a way as possible that convinced me to be a combinatorialist. I remember Rota's characteristic generosity: The research problems he shared freely, not just with his graduate students, but with anyone he talked to or taught; the dinners out at good trying to hide your techniques from your readers?'' By the time that weekend was over, the techniques, and the paper were clear.

    Extractions: - In memory of Gian-Carlo Rota By Jackie Shen (followed by a story from Norton Starr) Facing the word processor of my new notebook, I can feel that my mind is clear and clean, like the sky above the window of my apartment. It is a typical Los Angeles summer night. You can hear the on-going concert of the bugs' world. I guess they are happy living in grass, especially here. LA is their heaven... It is the perfect time to write. Gian-Carlo, my dear mentor and friend. I am ready to pay my long-term emotional debt. I wish my poor English will not distort my mind, nor my heart... Gian-Carlo loved Coke. No one ever sees why. Once I secretly made my assumption: Gian-Carlo loved Coke so much just because "Cola" well approximated "Carlo." The mathematical community loves to start from assumptions. So does Gian-Carlo. I suppose he was trying to prove my hypothesis, since he was always fond of doing proof, as a mathematician for nearly four decades. Gian-Carlo was the General-of-ODE(ordinary differential equations) at MIT. He seemed to love teaching ODE (very much!). The lecture room was typically full of more than 200 students, and he taught two sessions, usually one right after the other. (During weekends, this room is where you can hear hundreds of people screaming for movies and popcorns.) Once I told myself that if I were the CEO of the Coca-Cola company, I would take no hesitation to reward Gian-Carlo for his persistent advertising role.

    Extractions: In Memory of Gian-Carlo Rota: Part II. by Jackie Shen Summer 2003 When Socrates kept standing there on a hilltop from dawn till dusk, gazing at the rising or setting sun, he was trying to figure out exactly how many times of its body length a flea could jump in the air. That was the historical moment when qualitative philosophers strived to become more quantitative The time river has completely reversed its course thousands of years later: only very few quantitative mathematicians could become philosophically and sagaciously qualitative, shedding light of wisdom on the foundation as well as the big blueprint of mathematics. Gian-Carlo Rota was exceptional... That was a miserable day four years ago at UCLA when our MIT secretary Jane sent out the email announcing that Gian-Carlo passed away in his Cambridge house. Ever since, I have not been able to live a single day without frequent flashes of Gian-Carlo in my mind and soul.
