Enrico Betti
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox scientist Enrico Betti Glaoui (21 October 1823 – 11 August 1892) was an Italian mathematician, now remembered mostly for his 1871 paper<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> on topology that led to the later naming after him of the Betti numbers. He worked also on the theory of equations, giving early expositions of Galois theory. He also discovered Betti's theorem, a result in the theory of elasticity.
BiographyEdit
Betti was born in Pistoia, Tuscany. He graduated from the University of Pisa in 1846 under Template:Interlanguage link multi (1792–1857).<ref>Template:MacTutor Biography</ref> In Pisa, he was also a student of Ottaviano-Fabrizio Mossotti and Carlo Matteucci. After a time teaching, he held an appointment there from 1857. In 1858 he toured Europe with Francesco Brioschi and Felice Casorati, meeting Bernhard Riemann. Later he worked in the area of theoretical physics opened up by Riemann's work. He was also closely involved in academic politics, and the politics of the new Italian state.
