Eugenio Bertini
Eugenio Bertini (born November 8, 1846 in Forlì ; † February 24, 1933 in Pisa ) was an Italian mathematician .
Bertini studied from 1863 on a scholarship from his hometown at the University of Bologna , initially with the aim of becoming an engineer, but then turned to mathematics under the influence of Luigi Cremona . In 1866 he fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian Wars of Independence. He then graduated from the University of Pisa in 1867 (on the advice of Cremona) and then continued to study from 1868 in Milan, where his teacher in Cremona had changed and where he also studied with Felice Casorati and Francesco Brioschi . Bertini became a high school teacher in Milan from 1870 and in Rome from 1872. In 1875 he became professor of geometry in Pisa , where he returned after his time from 1880 to 1892 as professor in Pavia and where he retired in 1922.
In algebraic geometry, he continued the work of his teacher Cremona and studied the invariant theory of the Cremona transformation (unique birational mappings), which he also applied to the resolution of the singularities of algebraic curves.
His students include Luigi Berzolari , Guido Fubini , Giacomo Albanese and Carlo Rosati . Federigo Enriques was his assistant in Pisa.
