Alessandra Sarti
Alessandra Sarti (born 1974) is an Italian mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry. She is the namesake of the Sarti surface, and has also published research on surfaces. She works in France as a professor at the University of Poitiers and deputy director of the (Insmi) of the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris. Education and career Sarti was born in 1974, in Ferrara, Italy. After studying for a laurea at the University of Ferrara from 1993 to 1997, she moved to Germany for graduate study in mathematics. After a year at the University of Göttingen, supported by an Italian research grant, she became a research assistant at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg. She completed her Ph.D. there in 2001, with the dissertation ''Pencils of symmetric surfaces in \mathbb_3'', supervised by Wolf Barth. She took an assistant professor position at the University of Mainz in Germany, from 2003 to 2008, earning a habilitation there in 2007. After a temporary ...

Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometry, geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zero of a function, zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic variety, algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solution set, solutions of systems of polynomial equations. Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are line (geometry), lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscate of Bernoulli, lemniscates and Cassini ovals. These are plane algebraic curves. A point of the plane lies on an algebraic curve if its coordinates satisfy a given polynomial equation. Basic questions involve the study of points of special interest like singular point of a curve, singular p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
