Antonio Maria Bordoni

Antonio Maria Bordoni (19 July 1789 – 26 March 1860) was an Italian mathematician who did research on mathematical analysis, geometry, and mechanics.

He was a member of various learned academies, notably the Accademia dei XL.

Bordoni's famous students were Francesco Brioschi, Luigi Cremona, Eugenio Beltrami, Felice Casorati and Delfino Codazzi.

On 1 November 1817 he became full professor of elementary pure mathematics at the university and in 1818 he held the chair of infinitesimal calculus, geodesy and hydrometry, a discipline he taught for 23 years.

In 1854, as the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Pavia (it previously belonged to the one of the Philosophy) was established, he was elected director of mathematical studies and held such office until his death, which occurred 26 March 1860, just one month after being appointed senator.
