Corrado Segre (20 August 1863-18 May 1924) was an Italian mathematician, born in Saluzzo, who is remembered today as a major contributor to the early development of algebraic geometry.

Saluzzo is a town and former principality in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont region Italy. Algebraic geometry is a branch of Mathematics which as the name suggests combines techniques of Abstract algebra, especially Commutative algebra, with
In 1884, Segre published a classification of the symmetries of the Ricci tensor which has found application in general relativity. In Differential geometry, the Ricci curvature tensor, named after Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, provides one way of measuring the degree to which the geometry determined General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of Gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1916
