Personal Information
Short Bio
In November 1985 I went to Genoa (Genova), where I attended the University. I earned my degree on November 23rd, 1989 , defending a Master thesis in Computational Number Theory [D1] (in Italian). About a year later I moved to Turin (Torino), for my Ph.D. studies under the direction of Alberto Perelli, and I successfully defended my Doctoral thesis [D2] (in Italian) in Rome in January 27th, 1996.
Then I had several grants from the C.N.R.
and a postdoctoral grant by the University of Genova. In
1998
I won a competition for a position as Assistant Professor
(Ricercatore) in Padua (Padova), officially in the subject of
Mathematical Analysis, since Number Theory, as such, is unknown to
the Italian legislator. I moved there soon afterwards.
Starting from 2004 I am one of the participants of the Erasmus Mundus Master program ALgebra, Geometry And Number Theory (ALGANT) by the Universities of Bordeaux, Leiden, Paris Sud (Paris 11) and Padova, see http://www.math.unipd.it/~algant/ .
In 2004 I wrote, jointly with my colleague and friend Alessandro Zaccagnini, a book on Cryptography:
A. Languasco, A. Zaccagnini - Introduzione alla Crittografia - Ulrico Hoepli Editore, 2004 (Italian).
In June 2006 I won a competition for the habilitation (idoneità) as Associate Professor in Mathematical Analysis and in October 2006 I was hired as such from the Faculty of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova.
Some years ago V.Masotti and L.Accomazzi
interviewed me in their radio program "Il sommergibile".

Steganography" (in Italian on the RTSI radio station),

Other Interests
My main occupation, in fact, is studying, doing,
teaching, talking about Mathematics.
Secondly I am a great fan of
Apple Computers.
During the last twenty years, I had many
Apple computers but the one I loved more was the first one
I bought with my own money: a
Classic Macintosh.
Moreover, I love M.C. Escher works. Here is one site dedicated to him:
Escher
.
Another interesting thing is the postage stamp that the Chinese Popular Republic
dedicated to Chen's Theorem (every sufficiently large even integer can be written
as a sum of a prime and of a number which has at most two prime factors):
Chen's Postage Stamp.
More on Mathematicians on postage stamps:

A couple of years ago I (and many others) translated the book
"Elementary Linear Algebra" by W. Nicholson.

alphabetical order of their first name.
