The Witch of Agnesi 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.

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]:-

Maria Gaetana Agnesi Background 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). Contributions 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).

It was normal in that time for the daughters of noble families to be taught in convents, and to receive instruction in religion, household management and dressmaking. A few Italian families educated daughters in more academic subjects; a few attended lectures at the university or even lectured there. Pietro Agnesi recognized the talents and intelligence of his daughter Maria. Treated as a child prodigy, she was given tutors to learn five languages (Greek, Hebrew, Latin, French and Spanish) and also philosophy and science.
