AB This paper tries to analyse the figure of the mathematician, physicist, andinventor José Ruiz-Castizo y Ariza (1857–1929), Professor of Rational Mechanics atthe University of Zaragoza and Professor of Exact Sciences at the Central Universityof Madrid. Throughout a life dedicated to science, he carried out numerous jobsin his role as a teacher and researcher. Many of them, including his “Treatise onRational Mechanics”, were published in monographs and scientific journals of thetime. However, the main objective of this article is to present José Ruíz-Castizo notonly through his academic activity but also as an inventor of scientific instruments.For this, we will focus on one of his main inventions, specifically the “Tangentialevaluation Cartesian planimeter” designed by him from other existing planimeters.From this instrument designed to measure the area of any plane figure, rectilinear,curvilinear or mixtilinear, as well as other applications derived from the previousone, he patented and materialised a new proposal based on his previous work on thetheory of curves.
