Giuseppe Battaglini
Giuseppe Battaglini (born January 11, 1826 in Naples , † April 29, 1894 ibid) was an Italian mathematician.
Battaglini studied from 1844 to 1848 at an engineering school in Naples (Scuola di Ponti e Strade). Then he was at the Observatory of Capodimonte near Naples and began to publish mathematical works. For political reasons, he received an official post only after the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy and the end of the Kingdom of Naples in 1860. In that year he became professor of higher geometry at the University of Naples . Soon after Rome was incorporated into the Italian state, he became a professor there in 1872. He was rector of the University of Rome in 1873/74 and retired there in 1884 for health reasons. He then went back to Naples and remained scientifically active in publications.
He dealt mainly with geometry, but also gave lectures on group theory in Rome .
He was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei , the Academy of Sciences in Palermo, Naples and the Lombard Academy of Sciences (Istituto Lombardo). In 1882 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL .
His doctoral students and students include Giovanni Frattini , Alfredo Capelli , Enrico d'Ovidio and Riccardo de Paolis .
In 1863 he was one of the founders of the Giornale di matematiche, of which he was editor until his death. He published among other things on non-Euclidean geometry, also translations by Nikolai Ivanovich Lobatschewski (1867) and Janos Bolyai (1868), and thus contributed to the spread of the ideas of non-Euclidean geometry in Italy.
