Biography
Brunnacci studied medicine, astronomy and mathematics at the University of Pisa . In 1788, he began teaching mathematics at the Maritime Institute in Livorno . He supported the entry of Napoleon’s troops during the Italian campaign of 1796, and subsequently, after the Austrian counterattack in 1799, he was forced to leave for France. In 1800, upon his return, he received a place at the University of Pisa, in 1801 he received the position of professor of higher mathematics and the post of dean at Pavia University .
He supported the ideas of Lagrange developed in the Théorie des fonctions analytiques, in particular, he believed that the concept of infinitesimal quantities should be excluded from analysis and mechanics , he taught at the university analysis in the spirit of calculus of Lagrange contrary to established rules.
In 1805, he was a member of the design committee for the Pavia Canal; the following year he was appointed inspector of roads and waterways. In 1809 he became a member of the Italian Chamber of Weights and Measures, and since 1811 he became a public education inspector of the Kingdom of Italy.
He died in Pavia in 1818.
