}}Emma Castelnuovo (12 December 1913 – 13 April 2014) was an Italian mathematician.[1]

In 2013, the year of her 100th birthday, the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction created an award named after Castelnuovo to recognize outstanding contributions to mathematics education.[2]

Education and career

Emma Castelnuovo was born in Rome on 12 December 1913 to Elbina and Guido Castelnuovo; her father and her uncle Federigo Enriques were both professors of mathematics.[3]

Castelnuovo graduated from the University of Rome in 1936 with a thesis on algebraic geometry. After this she worked as a librarian at the same university. She won a permanent position in 1938, but in the same year Italy passed new laws preventing Jews from holding state positions, preventing her from taking it. Instead, she became a secondary school teacher from 1945 until her retirement in 1979.[3]

Contributions

Castelnuovo wrote a textbook, Geometria intuitiva, per le scuole medie inferiori (Intuitive geometry for lower secondary schools), which was first published in 1948. It had multiple later editions and translations.[3]

She served on the executive committee of the ICMI from 1975 to 1978.[3]
