Riccardo De Paolis (born January 9, 1854 in Rome , † June 24, 1892 ibid) was an Italian mathematician who dealt with geometry.

Life

De Paolis studied at the University of Rome with Luigi Cremona , Eugenio Beltrami and Giuseppe Battaglini and received his laureate there in 1875. From 1878 he was professor of algebra and geometry at the University of Bologna , from 1880 in Pavia and from 1881 at the University of Pisa .

Among other things, he published on the fundamentals of projective geometry following Karl von Staudt and Felix Klein and dealt with algebraic geometry.

He was a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei . In 1880 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL .
