Antonio Maria Bordoni

Antonio Maria Bordoni (19 July 1789 to 26 March 1860) was an Italian mathematician who did research on mathematical analysis, geometry and mechanics. He was born at Mezzana Corti in the province of Pavia and graduated in mathematics from Pavia in 1807, after which he taught at the military school Napoleon had established there until it closed in 1816. He became full professor of elementary pure mathematics at the university in 1817 and the next year took the chair of infinitesimal calculus, geodesy and hydrometry, which he held for twenty three years. He was dean of the university in 1827 and 1828 and a member of several learned academies, notably the Accademia dei XL. Bordoni is generally considered the founder of the mathematical school of Pavia, and his students included Francesco Brioschi, Luigi Cremona, Eugenio Beltrami, Felice Casorati and Delfino Codazzi.
