Mathematician

Giambattista Suardi

Early Modern

Giambattista Suardi was an Italian mathematician, born on 9 January 1711 into a noble family in Brescia and died on 2 March 1767. He studied mathematics at Padua, then part of the Republic of Venice, and graduated under the supervision of Giovanni Poleni; the source gives the year as 1773, which falls after his death and is evidently an error. In 1752 he published an essay on instruments for drawing curves, Nuovi istromenti per la descrizione di diverse curve antiche e moderne, which also proposed two new machines for navigation and one for mechanics and offered observations on regular rectilinear polygons. In 1764 he published Trattenimenti matematici at Brescia. He married a Venetian woman, Cecilia Curti.
