Formulario mathematico

Formulario Mathematico (Latino sine Flexione^[1]: Formulation of mathematics) is a book by Giuseppe Peano which expresses fundamental theorems of mathematics in a symbolic language developed by Peano. The author was assisted by Giovanni Vailati, Mario Pieri, Alessandro Padoa, Giovanni Vacca, Vincenzo Vivanti, Gino Fano and Cesare Burali-Forti.

Written in Latino sine Flexione, the Formulario was first published in 1895. The fifth and last edition was published in 1908. Many of the symbols and abbreviations introduced in the book are in common use today. Examples include ∈, ⊂, ∩, ∪ and A−B.

Notes

^ While Latino sine Flexione was sometimes called Interlingua, it should not be confused with modern Interlingua, developed between 1924 and 1951 by the International Auxiliary Language Association.
