Guido Fubini[1] (19 January 1879 – 6 June 1943) was an Italian mathematician, known for Fubini's theorem and the Fubini–Study metric.

Life

Born in

elliptic spaces.[2]

After earning his doctorate, he took up a series of professorships. In 1901 he began teaching at the

, where he stayed for a few decades.

During this time his research focused primarily on topics in

In 1938, when Fubini at the age of 59 was nearing retirement,

Jew, Fubini feared for the safety of his family, and so accepted an invitation by Princeton University to teach there; he died in New York City
four years later.

Legacy

A main-belt asteroid,
