Extractions: Maria Gaetana Agnesi In 1749, Maria Agnesi was appointed Chair of Higher Mathematics at the University of Bologna by Pope Benedick XIV. The pope said this of Agnesi and her work: Permit me, mademoisells, to unite my personal homage to the plaudits of the entire Academy. I have the pleasure of making known to my country an extremely useful work which has long been desired, and which has hitherto existed only in outline. I do not know of any work of this kind which is clearer, more methodic or more compreshensive than hyour Analytical Institutions. There is none in any language which can guide more surely, lead more quickly, and conduct further those who wish to advance in the mathematical sciences. I admire particularly the art with which you bring under uniform methods the divers conclusions scattered among the works of geometers and reached by methods entirely different. (H. J. Mozans, Women in Science, [N. Y.: D. Appleton, 1913]) She served in the position of Chair of Mathematics for two years, 1750-1752, until the death of her father. He was the driving force behind her interest in mathematics, and she immediately stopped her practice of the subject after he died. Some speculate that the only reason she entered into the field was because of her father's love for mathematics. Maria was quiet and deeply religious, and, unlike others of her time, was not looking to become a well-known mathematician. When she gave up mathematics after the death of her father, she worked at a home for ill and dying women. She never again took an interest in mathematics, and helped the homeless and needy until her death on January 9, 1799.

http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/Agnesi.html

Extractions: died: January 9, 1799 This work is characterized by its careful organization, its clarity and its precision. There is no other book, in any language, which would enable a reader to penetrate as deeply, or as rapidly, into the fundamental concepts of analysis. We consider that treatise the most complete and best written of its kind. (French Academy of Science, 1749) Wrote the first textbook for teaching calculus. Cared for the sick and dying. Until the 20th century, very few women in Europe or elsewhere received even a rudimentary education, and the path to more advanced studies was usually blocked to them. Consequently, very few women contributed to the development and distribution of the ideas of calculus. Agnesi was an exception and definitely an exceptional woman. She was the oldest of 21 children of a professor of mathematics at the University of Bologna, and her education started early. By the age of 9 she was fluent in several modern languages as well as Latin, Greek and Hebrew. During her teens, she privately studied the mathematics of Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Euler and others. She also tutored the younger children in the family and served as hostess at scientific and mathematical meetings arranged by her father. Her first book was based on these meetings, and in it she supported the concept of higher education for women. It was published when she was 20. For the next 10 years she worked on her two volume mathematics book, Analytic Institutions for the Use of Italian Youth, which was finally published in 1748. Volume one dealt with algebra and precalculus mathematics, and volume two contained differential and integral calculus, infinite series and differential equations. In it she managed to distill the diverse research writings and methods of a number of mathematicians into a clearly written and well organized textbook which could be used to learn calculus. It also contained a number of her own original contributions to the field.

Extractions: Maria Agnesi was the eldest of 21 children in a wealthy family. Her father could provide high quality tutors for Agnesi. She showed remarkable talents, and mastered many languages such as Latin, Greek and Hebrew at an early age. In 1738, she published a series of essays on philosophy and natural science. The volume contained 191 philosophical theses which Agnesi would defend in disputes with specially invited audiences of important international and national people who her father would invite to his house. She considered becoming a nun, but her father forbade it. So Agnesi concentrated her efforts on studying religious books and learning mathematics. She was fortunate that a monk who used to be a mathematician in Rome and Bologna, arrived in Milan and became a frequent visitor to the Agnesi house. With his help, Agnesi studied calculus, and he encouraged her to write a book on differential calculus. She wrote the book in Italian as a teaching text. Agnesi, with her father's money, was able to arrange for the private printing of the book in her own home where she could supervise the whole operation herself. However, she wished to obtain more input from leading mathematicians so she wrote to Riccati, and it was eventually published. Her book contains no original mathematics by Agnesi. Rather it contains many examples which were carefully selected to illustrate the ideas. The book includes a discussion of the cubic curve now know as the "witch of Agnesi". It is called a "witch" because of a translation error, Colson mistaking "la versiera" meaning "rope that turns a sail" for "l'aversiera" which means "she-devil".

Extractions: Maria Gaetana Agnesi Maria Agnesi was a famous female mathmatician. She was born in Italy on May 16, 1718 and died on January 9, 1799 in Italy. Maria was the eldest of 21 children. Her father was Pietro Agnesi and because of his wealth he was able to afford her the best tutors in the land. He earned his wealth through silk, but many readings have also stated him as being a mathematican. Maria did many things but her most notable is known as "the witch of Agnesi." Maria Agnesi was known for being a child prodigy (called the "oracle of the seven tongues); by the time she was nine years old she knew many different languages and would give performances on her knowledge in a special room of her father's home. She was very shy, but she wanted to please her father so she continued to show her talent to many others. Due to the time and the fact that she was a female, higher education for women was not practiced, so at the age of nine she published a Latin discourse defending education for women. This was done with the help of one of her tutors. When she was twenty she published "Propositiones Philosophicae" which was a series of essays on philosophy and natural science. These essays would be a topic of discussion many times and she would defend them with all her knowledge. Her free time was spent studying religious books and learning mathematics. She wrote a commentary that was never published on de L'Hopital's "Traite analytique des section coniques." Another book that she had published was "Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana." This book was written in Italian, published in her home and was meant to be used as a textbook for her brothers. Her next book had two volumes, "Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana" and was published in 1748. This was to bring her much fame.

She was a child prodigy who at age 9 published a Latin argument defending higher education for women. She is mainly remembered for her work in the differential calculus. Her book Instituzioni Analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana (Foundations of analysis for the Use of Italian Youth) was published in 1748. It dealt with the concepts of calculus and received much attention. In 1750 she became the first woman to occupy a chair of mathematics at the University of Bologna. She is associated with a famous curve in the plane, now called the "Witch of Agnesi" in her honor, given by the formula y = a3 / (X2 + a2). After her father's death in 1752, she devoted herself to religious studies and charity.
