Antonio Monteiro: A pioneer of theoretical computational studies in Argentina
The well known portuguese mathematician Antonio Monteiro (1907-1980), founder of the prestigious mathematics school at the National University of the South (UNS), actively manifested his interest in computation beginning in the late 1950s. This interest, directed primarily at theoretical aspects, al...
