Algebraic Threefolds

Tales of a Hitman and the Mob. He's a contract killer and he's an unlucky bastard. He made a mess of a simple job and Momo, his Boss, gives him a last chance to remedy and save his life. But he's a perpetual loser and his chronic clumsiness creates a pile of dead bodies. Now he's a sitting duck for Momo's gang. Last on the List, is a bloody tale with sharp dialog and black humor that carries readers to a pyrotechnic conclusion. In a secondary bonus story, "WOPS"; Don Palermo is dead, long life to the new Godfather! But leading the Family is for "real men" and the new Boss has secrets that make his way of life too "difficult" for the Mob.

This book commemorates the 150th birthday of Corrado Segre, one of the founders of the Italian School of Algebraic Geometry and a crucial figure in the history of Algebraic Geometry. It is the outcome of a conference held in Turin, Italy. One of the book's most unique features is the inclusion of a previously unpublished manuscript by Corrado Segre, together with a scientific commentary. Representing a prelude to Segre's seminal 1894 contribution on the theory of algebraic curves, this manuscript and other important archival sources included in the essays shed new light on the eminent role he played at the international level. Including both survey articles and original research papers, the book is divided into three parts: section one focuses on the implications of Segre's work in a historic light, while section two presents new results in his field, namely Algebraic Geometry. The third part features Segre's unpublished notebook: Sulla Geometria Sugli Enti Algebrici Semplicemente Infiniti (1890-1891). This volume will appeal to scholars in the History of Mathematics, as well as to researchers in the current subfields of Algebraic Geometry.
