Mario Salvadori and Mauro Picone: From Student and Teacher to Professional Fellowship
Abstract. The correspondence between Mario Salvadori and Mauro Picone during the years 1934–1972 sheds light on the history of the Italian Institute for the Applications of Calculation. The IAC was a groundbreaking institution for mathematics in Italy, and great attention was given to the new means of mechanical calculation, first analogue, then electronic. It was in relationship to this that Mario Salvadori consulted with his former professor. The correspondence allows us to see also how that relationship changed from one of student-teacher to one of fellowship between professionals.
The books and individuals from whom I have learned what I know of numeric calculus are too numerous to list here, but I wish to express now my gratitude to Prof. Mauro Picone, director of the Istituto Nazionale per le Applicazioni del Calcolo (the Italian laboratory for applied mathematics which will house the International Center of Mechanical Calculus, recently founded), who was the first to teach me to love numbers while I was his student at the University of Rome some 20 years ago. M. Salvadori, Preface to Numerical Methods in Engineering, New York, Prentice-Hall, 1952
