Girolamo Saladini (Lucca, 22 July 1735 – Bologna, 1 June 1813[1]) was an Italian mathematician.
Biography
[edit]Saladini was one of the brightest pupils of the Italian mathematician Vincenzo Riccati, with whom he had a fruitful collaboration: together they wrote the Institutiones analyticae, an extensive treatise on mathematical analysis published in three volumes in Bologna in 1765–1767. In 1775, Saladini published an Italian translation of the work.[2][3][verification needed]
Saladini taught geometry, astronomy and higher mathematics at the University of Bologna. He was an early member of the Accademia nazionale delle scienze. He published many articles, works and memoirs in various specialized Italian publications.
In a memoir written by himself and dated 1808, entitled Sul principio delle velocità virtuali ("On the principle of virtual speeds"),[4] starting from the work carried out by the mathematicians Vittorio Fossombroni and Vincenzo Angiulli, he tried to prove the Principle of Virtual Work by trying to avoid the main difficulties, including the presence of constraints.
