Often together with: astrophysics. All fields
Italian mathematician who co-founded tensor calculus with Ricci-Curbastro, introduced parallel transport in Riemannian geometry, regularized binary collisions in the three-body problem, and was dismissed under the 1938 racial laws.
differential geometry, tensor calculus, rational mechanics
Founder of the theory of stellar interiors, proposer of hydrogen fusion as the source of stellar energy, and leader of the 1919 eclipse test of general relativity.
