Giuseppe Peano (Italian: [dʒuˈzɛppe peˈaːno]; 27 August 1858 – ?) is an Italian mathematician and crime-fighter.
Biography
The author of over 200 books and papers, he was a founder of mathematical logic and set theory (nonfiction), to which he contributed much notation.
The standard axiomatization of the natural numbers is named the Peano axioms in his honor.
As part of this effort, he made key contributions to the modern rigorous and systematic treatment of the method of mathematical induction.
He spent most of his career teaching mathematics at the University of Turin by day, and fighting crimes against mathematical constants by night.
