He made some important contributions to thedifferential geometryof surfaces, such as theCodazzi–Mainardi equations.
Biography
[edit]He graduated in mathematics at theUniversity of Pavia,where he was a pupil ofAntonio Bordoni.For a long period Codazzi taught first at the Ginnasio Liceale ofLodi,then at the liceo ofPavia.Meanwhile, he devoted himself to research indifferential geometry.
In 1865, he was appointed professor of complementary algebra andanalytic geometryat University of Pavia. He remained in his position at Pavia until his death in 1873.
He also obtained results concerning isometric lines,geodesic triangles,equiareal mappingand the stability of floating bodies.
