Famous People with Name Bonaventura

Bonaventura Francesco Cavalieri            Origin/Culture/Country: Italian

Bonaventura Francesco Cavalieri: was an Italian mathematician known for Cavalieri's principle, which states that the volumes of two objects are equal if the areas of their corresponding cross-sections are in all cases equal. Two cross-sections correspond if they are intersections of the body with planes equidistant from a chosen base plane. The principle was originally discussed by the 3rd century Chinese mathematician Liu Hui in his commentary on The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art.[1] Cavalieri developed a "method of the indivisibles," which he used to determine areas and volumes. It was a significant step on the way to modern infinitesimal calculus ([1]).
