The word is also a slang short form the avversiere, Even in her own lifetime, Agnesi was very highly regarded in the world of mathematics. She was appointed to the chair of higher mathematics at the University of Bologna by Pope Benedick XIV himself. In his speech, the Pope proclaimed that there was no one in any language who could guide more surely, lead more quickly, or conduct further those who wish to advance in the mathematical sciences than she.

Maria gained such reputation as a mathematician that she was appointed by Benedict XIV to teach mathematics in the University of Bologna, during her father's illness. This was in 1750, and two years later her father died. Maria then devoted herself to the study of theology and the Fathers of the Church. Her long aspirations to the religious life were destined to be gratified, for after acting for some years as director of the Hospice Trivulzio of the Blue Nuns in Milan, she joined the order and died a member of it, in her eighty-first year.

29. Maria Teresa D'Agnesi
    Biography and list of her known works.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/8747/Agnesi_bio.html
    
    Extractions: According to the entry in the Norton/Grove Dictionary of Women Composers: Italian composer, harpsichordist, singer and librettist. As a girl she performed in her home while her elder sister Maria Gaetna (1718-99; she became a distinquished mathematician) lectured and debated in Latin. Charles de Brosses, who heard them on 16 July 1739 and was highly impressed, reported that Maria Teresa performed harpsichord pieces by Rameau and both sang and played compositions of her own invention. Her first theatrical work, Il restauro d'Arcadia, was successfully presented in Milan's ducal theatre in 1747. At about this time she dedicated collections of her own arias and instrumental pieces to the rulers of Saxony and Austria; according to Simonetti the Empress Maria Theresa sang from a collection of arias that Agnesi had given her. She married Pier Antonio Pinottini on 13 June 1752 but had no children. Her next opera, Ciro in Armenia, produced a the Regio Ducal Teatro in 1753, was to her own libretto. In 1766 her Insubria consolata was performed in Milan to honour the engagement of Beatrice d'Este and the Archduke Ferdinand. Her portrait hangs in the theatre museum of La Scala; other portraits are reproduced in the encyclopedia Storia di Milano (vols xii, xiv). Works:

    Extractions: Even though her contribution to mathematics are very important, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was not a typical famous mathematician. She led a quite simple life and she gave up mathematics very early. At first glance her life may seem to be boring, however, considering the circumstances in which she was raised, her accomplishments to mathematics are glorious. Enjoy! During the Middle Ages, under the influence of Christendom, many European countries were opposed to any form of higher education for females. Women were mostly deprived from the fundamental elements of education, such as reading and writing, claiming that these were a source of temptation and sin. For the most part, learning was confined to monasteries and nunneries which constituted the only opportunity for education open to girls during the Middle Ages. After the fall of Constantinople (today Istanbul), many scholars migrated to Rome, bringing Europe knowledge and critical thinking, which in turn gave rise to the Renaissance. However, except in Italy, the status of women throughout Europe changed very slowly. In Italy, however, where the Renaissance had its origin, women made their mark on the academic world. Intellectual women were admired by men, they were never ridiculed for being intellectual and educated. This attitude enabled Italian women to participate in arts, medicine, literature, and mathematics. Among many others, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was by far the most important and extraordinary figure in mathematics during the 18th century.

    Extractions: The bell-shaped witch of Maria Agnesi can be constructed in the following way. Start with a circle of diameter a, centered at the point (0,a/2) on the y-axis. Choose a point A on the line y = a and connect it to the origin with a line segment. Call the point where the segment crosses the circle B. Let P be the point where the vertical line through A crosses the horizontal line through B. The witch is the curve traced by P as A moves along the line y = a. This construction of the witch is a reflection of the one mentioned in the biography across the line y = x. Famous Curves from the MacTutor History of Mathematics web site Witch of Agnesi by Eric W.

    Biography of maria agnesi (17181799) Some accounts of maria agnesi describeher father as being a professor of mathematics at Bologna.  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Agnesi.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Maria Gaetana Agnesi was the daughter of Pietro Agnesi who came from a wealthy family who had made their money from silk. Pietro Agnesi had twenty-one children with his three wives and Maria was the eldest of the children. As Truesdell writes in [16], Pietro Agnesi:- ... belonged to a class intermediate between the patricians and the merely rich. Such a bourgeois could have a household fit for a lord, comport himself like a knight, mingle freely with some nobles, occupy himself with the finer things of life, be a patron of men of talent. Pietro Agnesi did just that... Some accounts of Maria Agnesi describe her father as being a professor of mathematics at Bologna. It is shown clearly in [12] that this is entirely incorrect, but the error is unfortunately carried forward to [1] and will also be seen in a number of other places. Pietro Agnesi could provide high quality tutors for Maria Agnesi and indeed he did provide her with the best available tutors who were all young men of learning from the Church. She showed remarkable talents and mastered many languages such as Latin, Greek and Hebrew at an early age. At the age of 9 she published a Latin discourse in defence of higher education for women. It was not Agnesi's composition, as has been claimed by some, but rather it was an article written in Italian by one of her tutors which she translated and [16]:-

    Extractions: mathematician - (1718-1799) One of her solutions for an algebraic equation is still found in today's textbooks. The solution follows a curve now called the "witch of Agnesi" not because she was thought to be a witch, but because the shape of the curve was called aversiera , which in Italian means to turn. The word is also a slang short form for the avversiere which means wife of the devil. A series of mistranslations over time finally set the name of curve to the "witch of Agnesi". We now present the Living Witch of Agnesi . Watch the curve grow before your very eyes. She was a child prodigy. By the age of nine she wrote, read and spoke Italian, French, Latin, Greek, German, Spanish and Hebrew, and was known as the "oracle of the seven tongues". When Pope Benedick XIV appointed her to the chair of higher mathematics at the University of Bologna he said 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 comprehensive than your 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."

    Extractions: Agnesi was born in Italy in 1718 to a wealthy and literate family. She was the daughter of a mathematician. During this time, Italy was opposed to education for women, as a result even many upper class women could not read. But Agnesi was an exception. She was to grow up to be called one of the most extraordinary women scholars of all times. She is considered to be the first woman in the Western world who can accurately be called a mathematician (Gillispie 1970). Agnesi never married. She spent most of her time studying mathematics. However after her mothers death most of her time was spent caring for her younger brothers and sisters, and performing household duties (Perl 1978). Osen (1990) states that by the age of twenty and after 10 years of thought, Agnesi had produced her major work called Analytical Institutions, a treatise in two huge volumes dealing with differential and integral calculus, with an emphasis on concepts that were new in her time. After her work was published, in 1748, it created a great deal of excitement in the academic world. It was considered to be one of the most important mathematical publications produced by a woman up until that time. It gave her instant recognition in the academic circles of Europe. In the first section Analytical Institutions deals with the analysis of finite quantities. It also deals with elementary problems of maxima and minima, tangents, and points of inflection. The next section discusses the analysis of infinitely small quantities. The third section deals with integral calculus, with specific rules for integration and finally the last section deals with the inverse method of tangents and differential equations (Gillispie 1970).
