Mathematical Work
Dini worked in the field of analysis during a time when it was begun to be based on rigorous foundations. In addition to his books, he wrote about sixty papers. He proved a Dini's criterion for the convergence of Fourier series and investigated the potential theory and differential geometry of surfaces, based on work by Eugenio Beltrami.
One of his students was Luigi Bianchi.
The implicit function theorem is known in Italy as the Dini's theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or work:
“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 3–4)
