Giovanni Ceva

Giovanni Ceva ( born December 7, 1647 Milan, † June 15, 1734 in Mantua ), was an Italian mathematician.

After attending the Jesuit college in Milan and a degree in mathematics from the University of Pisa, he worked from 1686 in Mantua as " Matematico Cesareo e Commessario Generale dell ' Acque di tutto lo Stato ". He was buried in the church of Santa Teresa de ' Carmelitani Scalzi in Mantua.

He dealt mainly with geometry. In 1678 he published the book " De lineis rectis se invicem secantibus, statica constructio " which also included the " set of Ceva ". During his lifetime, he published more books on mathematics, among others, a book of mathematical studies on the economics on the example of Mantua ( De Re Nummeraria ) and one on hydraulics ( Opus hydrostaticum ).
