Biography

He graduated at the University of Pisa in 1866 but he was also a student of the Scuola Normale of Pisa. He first taught in a high school in Naples and in 1872, having been put forward by Enrico Betti, he was appointed professor of rational mechanics at the University of Pisa. From there he moved on to Padua, where he remained until his premature death.

He has been author of about fifty works in the fields of mathematical analysis, analytical mechanics and mathematical-physics (elasticity and electromagnetism). Regards to analytical mechanics Padova has been one of the first to study matters concerning movement stability. In this field, among his students was Tullio Levi-Civita.

In 1891 he also became a member of the Accademia dei Lincei.

gollark: Oh, systemd has good sandboxing capabilities available in the unit files. Yes, you can do that with external scripting, but it makes it easier to secure things if it's an accessible builtin.
gollark: I prefer declarative service files, systemd integrates logging (so that `systemctl status` can show the last few lines of output) and generally has a nicer UI for monitoring and managing things (also, it seems that restarting services in OpenRC causes their output to just be printed to your terminal?), and actually that's basically it.
gollark: As for specific issues, I'm typing.
gollark: OpenRC on Alpine, Runit on Void.
gollark: I've used both and I don't really like the user experience.
