By the by, how do you pronounce his first name, and last name for that matter? | Juice-eppi Pea-no is how I pronounce it, but if I have not heard some else pronounce it it is probably wrong (I don't recall if I have heard it pronounced).

I've always thought it was pronounced Piano, as in the instrument (I am reading your as Pea-no = Pee-no). Although, much like you, I have no idea if I've heard anyone else pronounce it, and even if I had that is not to say that they were correct. Euler is normally pronounced correctly (and always by lecturers) but, but Basel and Eratosthenes are usually miss-pronounced, and so the same could be true for Peano. |
