RICCATI, JACOPO FRANCESCO, COUNT (1676-1754)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 288 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RICCATI, JACOPO FRANCESCO, COUNT (1676-1754) , Italian mathematician, was born at Venice on the 8th of May 1676, and died at Treviso on the 15th of
April
  1754.
He studied at the university of Padua, where he graduated in 1696. His favourite pursuits were scientific, and his authority on all questions of
practical
  science was referred to by the senate of Venice. He corresponded with many of the European savants of his day, and contributed largely to the Acta Eruditorum of
Leipzig
 . He was offered the
presidency
  of the
academy
  of science of St
Petersburg
 ; but he declined, preferring the leisure and independence of
life
  in Italy.
Riccati
 's name is best known in connexion with his problem called
Riccati
 's equation, published in the Acta Eruditorum, September 1724. A very complete account of this equation and its various transformations was given by J. W. L. Glaisher in the Phil. Trans. (1881).
After Riccati's death his works were collected by his sons and published (1758) in four volumes. His sons, Vincenzo (17o7-1775) and
Giordano
  (1709-1790), inherited his talents. The former was professor of
mathematics
  at Bologna, and published, among other works, a treatise on the infinitesimal calculus.
Giordano
  was distinguished both as a mathematician and an architect.
