Giuseppe Peano (1858-1932) was an Italian mathematician most famous for his work in mathematical logic and for the Peano axioms for the natural numbers. Less known is the fact that Peano was a pioneer of infinitesimals. In an article published in 1910, Peano developed a theory of a system including infinitesimals of a type that would be developed more fully by Schmieden and Laugwitz several decades later.
