Biography of giancarlo rota (1932-1999) gian-carlo rota. Born 27 April 1932 in Vigevano, Italy
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Rota.html

Extractions: 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: News Office Behind most great science and engineering discoveries stands the work of a host of mathematicians. But their research, like the support of a silent consort, often goes unrecognized. Gian-Carlo Rota, professor of applied mathematics and philosophy the sole MIT claimant to that title is not silent. His interest in communicating with mathematicians, as well as the rest of us, has manifested itself in some very public ways. He spoke at Family Weekend this year ("Ten Predictions about Science") and last year ("Ten Lessons of an MIT Education"), was the Killian Lecturer in 1997 ("Mathematical Snapshots"), speaker at the Provost's Seminar in 1998 ("Ten Remarks on Husserl and Phenomenology"), and presenter of the 1998 American Mathematical Society (AMS) Colloquium Lectures a series of three talks presented each year by one of the world's most eminent mathematicians, according to the AMS. Professor Rota also engages people, very graciously, on an individual level. He's known among students for his accessibility and his clear presentation of material in his math and philosophy courses. He's also respected for his deep understanding of those subjects and revered for his love of communicating.

Extractions: SIAM News Quick Search: Gian-Carlo Rota Gian-Carlo Rota, a professor of applied mathematics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, died of heart failure, apparently in his sleep, around April 18, 1999. Rota was born in Vigevano, Italy, on April 27, 1932. Forced to flee Mussolini's death squads, his family left Italy in 1945, after which they lived for a time in Ecuador. His sister, Ester Rota Gasperoni, recounted the family's escape from Italy in two books, Orage sur le Lac and L'arbre des Capulies. Rota came to the United States in 1950; he received a BA from Princeton University and, in 1956, a PhD from Yale University under Jacob T. Schwartz. He held postdoctoral positions at the Courant Institute and Harvard University before arriving at MIT in 1959. Except for a short hiatus at Rockefeller University (1965-67), he remained at MIT until his death, much to the good fortune of countless MIT undergraduates, graduate students, visitors, and faculty who were able to share his enthusiasm and joy for mathematics, philosophy, and life in general. An important watershed in the development of combinatorics was the NSF Advanced Science Seminar in Combinatorial Theory at Bowdoin College during the summer of 1971. Gian-Carlo presided over this meeting as a godfather of the "new combinatorics." He was involved in all aspects of the eight-week meeting, from the mathematical content to social activities. I recall one pedagogical innovation of his-the tandem lecture. He would choose about six people from the audience who had to leave the room and not talk to each other. He would then call them into the lecture hall one at a time to deliver a five-minute lecture. Each lecture had to be a continuation of the previous lecture, based on what the previous speaker had left on the blackboard.

http://www.math.wayne.edu/~bdt/ROTA.html

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 bug's 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 friend. I am ready to pay my long-term debt of emotions. I wish my poor English will not distort 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" 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.

I just saw him on Friday afternoon. I thought it was a miracle: his office formerly piles of papers with just enough room left to walk to the desk or blackboard from the door was clean; he had had teams of students helping him go through and throw things away for weeks. He was sitting behind his desk talking with Richard Stanley, looking pleased with the world. But then, he was always one to look pleased with the world; it was his style. I'm still kind of in shock.

Extractions: A Century of Mathematics in America, Part III, History of Mathematics, Volume 3, P. Duren, Ed., pp.223-236, American Mathematical Society, 1989. Gian-Carlo Rota was born in Italy, where he went to school through the ninth grade. He attended high school in Quito, Ecuador, and entered Princeton University as a freshman in 1950. Three years later, he graduated summa cum laude and went to Yale, where he received a Ph.D. in 1956 with a thesis in functional analysis under the direction ofJ. T. Schwartz. After a position at Harvard, in 1959 he moved to MIT, where he is now professor of mathematics and philosophy. He has made basic contributions to operator theory, ergodic theory, and combinatorics. The AMS recently honored him with a Steele Prize for his seminal work in algebraic combinatorics. He is a senior fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Extractions: Running overtime is the one unforgivable error a lecturer can make. After fifty minutes (one microcentury as von Neumann used to say) everybody's attention will turn elsewhere even if we are trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis. One minute overtime can destroy the best of lectures. c. Relate to your audience As you enter the lecture hall, try to spot someone in the audience with whose work you have some familiarity. Quickly rearrange your presentation so as to manage to mention some of that person's work. In this way, you will guarantee that at least one person will follow with rapt attention, and you will make a friend to boot. Everyone in the audience has come to listen to your lecture with the secret hope of hearing their work mentioned. d. Give them something to take home
