Vito Volterra (1860-1940) was one of the most famous
representatives of Italian science in his day. Angelo Guerragio and
Giovanni Paolini analyze Volterra's most important contributions to
mathematics and their applications, as well as his outstanding
organizational achievements in scientific policy. Volterra was one
of the founding fathers of functional analysis and the author of
fundamental contributions in the field of integral equations,
elasticity theory and population dynamics (Lotka-Volterra model).
He delivered keynote lectures on the occasion of the International
Congresses of Mathematicians held in Paris (1900), Rome (1908),
Strasbourg (1920) and Bologna (1928). He became involved in the
scientific development in united Italy and was appointed senator of
the kingdom in 1905. One of his numerous non-mathematical
activities was founding the National Research Council (Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR). During the First World War he was
active in military research. After the war he took a clear stand
against fascism, which was the starting point for his exclusion. In
1926 he resigned as president of the world famous Accademia
Nazionale dei Lincei and was later on excluded from the academy. In
1931 he was one of the few university lecturers who denied to swear
an oath of allegiance to the fascistic regime. In 1938 he suffered
from the impact of the racial laws. The authors draw a
comprehensive picture of Vito Volterra, both as a great
mathematician and an organizer of science.

Der Mathematiker Vito Volterra (1860 1940) war nicht nur ein
grosser Mathematiker, sondern auch ein guter
Wissenschaftsorganisator. Uber Jahrzehnte galt er als der
bedeutendste Reprasentant der Wissenschaft in Italien. Die Autoren
rekonstruieren seine wichtigsten Beitrage zur Wissenschaft und zur
Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Institutionen in Italien und der
Welt: von der Entwicklung der Funktionalanalysis uber die
Untersuchung der Populationsdynamik bis zu seiner Lehrtatigkeit und
der Grundung des staatlichen italienischen Forschungsrates."
