230:"in the mid 1880s, these two very young researchers, Segre and Peano, both of them only just past twenty and both working at the University of Turin, were developing very advanced points of view on fundamental geometrical issues. Although their positions were quite different from one another, they were in some way more complementary than opposed. So it must come as no surprise that Turin was the cradle of some of the most interesting studies on such issues."

appealed early on to Segre, and he became a promulgator. First, in 1885 he published an article on conics in the plane where he demonstrated how group theory facilitated the study. As
Hawkins says (page 252) "the totality of all conics in the plane is identified with P(C)". The group of its

spanned 200 pages. In admiration, Baker (1926) wrote and
Coolidge (1927) reiterated: For completeness of detail, breadth of view, and generous recognition of the work of a host of other writers, this must remain for many years a monument of the comprehensiveness of the man.

In
English, the best-known work of Segre is an inspirational essay meant for Italian students, translated by J.W. Young in 1904. It provides guidance and encouragement to young people studying mathematics.
