Non vi sarebbe quindi da stupirsi se le geometrie di Galois venissero and avere in futuro applicazioni anche al campo della fisica, da cui attualmente sembrano molto lontane esce anzi tali spazi finiti portassero alla costruzione di schemi a modelli dove i fenomeni fisici trovassero interpretazioni matematiche più semplici di quelle consuete. (It would not be much of a surprise if Galois geometry in the future came to have applications in the field of the physics, from which these finite geometries are currently far removed. These finite geometries might lead to the construction of models in which physical phenomena have simpler mathematical interpretations than the models now used. — modified from the original translation by Tallini)
Italian mathematician (1903-1977)
Beniamino Segre (16 February 1903 – 2 October 1977) was an Italian mathematician, known for his contributions to algebraic geometry. At the International Congress of Mathematicians, he was an invited speaker in 1928 in Bologna, in 1950 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in 1958 in Edinburgh, as well as a plenary speaker in 1954 in Amsterdam.
