23. Torricelli MacTutor offers this biography of the 17thcentury Italian physicist who made telescopes and experimented with vacuums. evangelista torricelli's parents were Gaspare torricelli and Caterina Angetti. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Torricelli.html

Evangelista Torricelli Born: 15 Oct 1608 in Faenza, Romagna (now Italy) Died: 25 Oct 1647 in Florence, Tuscany (now Italy) Click the picture above to see five larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Evangelista Torricelli 's parents were Gaspare Torricelli and Caterina Angetti. It was a fairly poor family with Gaspare being a textile worker. Evangelista was the eldest of his parents three children, having two younger brothers at least one of whom went on to work with cloth. It is greatly to his parents' credit that they saw that their eldest son had remarkable talents and, lacking the resources to provide an education for him themselves, they sent him to his uncle who was a Camaldolese monk. Brother Jacopo saw that Evangelista was given a sound education until he was old enough to enter a Jesuit school. Torricelli entered a Jesuit College in 1624 and studied mathematics and philosophy there until 1626. It is not entirely clear at which College he studied, with most historians believing that he attended the Jesuit College in Faenza, while some believe that he entered the Collegio Romano in Rome. What is undoubtedly the case is that after study at the Jesuit College he was then in Rome. Certain facts are clear, namely that Torricelli's father died in or before 1626 and that his mother moved to Rome for she was certainly living there in 1641 at the time of her death. Torricelli's two brothers also moved to Rome and again we know for certain that they were living there in 1647. The most likely events seem to be that after Gaspare Torricelli died, Caterina and her two younger sons moved to Rome to be with Evangelista who was either already living there or about to move to that city.

Evangelista Torricelli Le baromètre par Karen-Lynn Anderson et Vanessa Gagnon Biographie Après réflexion sur cette expérience, il comprit qu'il venait de faire le vide. Il soumit l'hypothèse suivante à un collègue : "L'air (la pression atmosphérique) pèse sur le mercure de la cuve, ce qui empêche le mercure de descendre complètement et le tube de se vider. Il mesura ainsi la pression atmosphérique." Il confirma par la suite son hypothèse et conclut que la pression atmosphérique détermine la hauteur à laquelle s'élèvera un fluide dans un tube inversé dans un bac contenant le même liquide.

Institute and Museum of History of Science, Florence, ITALY Evangelista Torricelli Scientific career Quadrature of the cycloid curve Defense of the Galileian laws of motion The barometric experiment Scientific career There are four different lines of research evident in the works of Torricelli, which cover almost all the subjects treated by Galileo, with the exception of astronomy. In the first - Geometry - Torricelli obtained remarkable results, in particular the quadrature of the cycloid curve and the cubature of the hyperboloid of revolution (acute hyperbolic solid). He was the first to use "curved indivisibles", contributing in this way to the "method of indivisibles" introduced into geometry by Bonaventura Cavalieri. The close scientific collaboration between the two outstanding mathematicians, also extremely close friends, is documented by a rich scientific correspondence. The second direction of research, to maintain this system of classification, consists of the application of geometry to the study of motion. The barometric experiment , which led to the invention of the mercury barometer, and the development of techniques for producing telescope lenses are two final directions of research in which Torricelli demonstrated an ability comparable to that of a skilled artisan.

Main index History of Science index Evangelista Torricelli Torricelli detail of a portrait by an unknown artist (b. Oct. 15, 1608, Faenza, Romagnad. Oct. 25, 1647, Florence), Italian physicist and mathematician who invented the barometer and whose work in geometry aided in the eventual development of integral calculus. Inspired by Galileo's writings, he wrote a treatise on mechanics, De Motu ("Concerning Movement"), which impressed Galileo. In 1641 Torricelli was invited to Florence, where he served the elderly astronomer as secretary and assistant during the last three months of Galileo's life. Torricelli was then appointed to succeed him as professor of mathematics at the Florentine Academy. Two years later, pursuing a suggestion by Galileo, he filled a glass tube 4 feet (1.2 m) long with mercury and inverted the tube into a dish. He observed that some of the mercury did not flow out and that the space above the mercury in the tube was a vacuum. Torricelli became the first man to create a sustained vacuum. After much observation, he concluded that the variation of the height of the mercury from day to day was caused by changes in atmospheric pressure. He never published his findings, however, because he was too deeply involved in the study of pure mathematicsincluding calculations of the cycloid, a geometric curve described by a point on the rim of a turning wheel. In his Opera Geometrica (1644; "Geometric Works")
