  Enrico Betti Summary
Enrico Betti, an Italian mathematician, was born near Pistoia, Italy on October 21, 1823.
Betti was also the first to show that the quintic function—a function in which a variable is raised to the fifth power—can be solved using integrals of elliptic functions.
Enrico Betti (21 October 1823 - 11 August 1892) was an Italian mathematician, now remembered mostly for his 1871 paper on topology that led to the later naming after him of the Betti numbers.

 Betti
Betti studied at the University of Pisa, later was to become a professor (1857) and rector there and director of its teacher's college.
Betti extended and gave proofs relating to the algebraic concepts of Evariste Galois.
Betti thus made an important contribution to the transition from classical to modern algebra.

 Betti biography
Enrico Betti's father died when he was very young and his mother had to bring him up and educate him on her own.
Betti studied mathematics and physics at the University of Pisa and while there he was taught by Mossotti.
Betti graduated with a degree in mathematics in 1846 and, following this, he was appointed as an assistant at the university.

In algebraic topology, the Betti number of a topological space is, in intuitive terms, a way of counting the maximum number of cuts that can be made without dividing the space into two pieces.
The connection of p-torsion and the Betti number for characteristic p, for p a prime number, is given in detail by the universal coefficient theorem (based on Tor functors, but in a simple case).

 Foundations of Algebraic Topology
Enrico Betti (1823-1892) was an Italian mathematician who combined research in pure mathematics with his career as a university professor and administrator and later as a politician.
In 1871 he published a treatise in which he attempted to identify the topology of figures with a set of numbers which were determined by the homotopy groups of the figure.
It turned out that the Betti numbers were not adequate to properly characterize the topology of a figure.

Each Betti number is a natural number, or infinity.
In the case that X is a simplicial complex, assumed built up from a finite number of simplices, the sequence of Betti numbers is 0 from some points onwards, and consists of natural numbers.
The Betti numbers do not take into account any torsion in the homology groups, but they are very useful basic topological invariants.

Il testo Teoria della elasticità pubblicato da Enrico Betti nel biennio 1872–73, marca una tappa importante nello sviluppo della teoria dell’elasticità e della scienza delle costruzioni; per questo motivo abbiamo ritenuto utile ripresentarlo in un’edizione critica, anche perché non è semplice da reperire.
La parte antologica, oltre al testo di Betti, riporta anche la riscrittura di alcune lezioni del corso tenuto da Betti a Pisa, nell’anno accademico 1866-1867.

It was the first Italian school of mathematics and has long remained the true source of mathematical research in Italy.
Its birth was favored by the presence of the Scuola Normale Superiore and also by the close scientific contacts which Bernhard Riemann, during his long stays in Pisa (between 1863 and 1865), established with Enrico Betti and Eugenio Beltrami.
It began with his bringing to Pisa Federico Cafiero, a student of Renato Cacciopoli, and reached its peak in the 1960's with the arrival of Aldo Andreotti, Jacopo Barsotti, Enrico Bombieri, Sergio Campanato, Gianfranco Capriz, Ennio De Giorgi, Giovanni Prodi, Guido Stampacchia, and Edoardo Vesentini.

Indeed, the names of Leonardo Pisano, called Fibonacci, and Galileo Galilei link it to the very origins of modern science.
In the years following the foundation of the Italian state, there emerged in Pisa a school of mathematics that reached the highest level of achievement with exponents such as Enrico Betti, Ulisse Dini, Luigi Bianchi, Enrico Bertini, Eugenio Elia Levi and Leonida Tonelli.
With these beginnings the University and the Scuola Normale Superiore have progressively established Pisa as a true crossroad of international mathematical research.
