Life and work

Alasia studied at the universities of Turin (under Enrico D'Ovidio and Giuseppe Peano)[1] and Rome (under Luigi Cremona). In 1893 began his academic career as mathematics professor in different high schools at Sassari, Tempio Pausania, Oristano, Ozieri, Brindisi and, finally, at Albenga.[2]

Alasia was well known at the beginning of 20th Century for he was the founder of Le Matematiche Pure e Applicate,[3] a journal devoted to the improvement of scientific knowledge of mathematics teachers.[4]
