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.

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Agnesi.html

Extractions: 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: 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.

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 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.

Extractions: Agnesi, Maria Gaetana (17181799) Maria Agnesi was the first woman in the Western world who could accurately be called a mathematician. Her father encouraged Agnesi's interest in scientific matters by securing distinguished professors as her tutors and by establishing a substantial library and learning center in their home. Agnesi developed an intense interest in mathematics at an early age, and a t 14, she was solving difficult problems in analytic geometry and ballistics. As early as 17, she wrote a critical commentary on the Trait analytique des sections coniques by LHospital Agnesi was a well-published scientist by age 20 and an honorary faculty member of the University of Bologna by age 30. A decade of concentrated work culminated with the publication of her calculus book I n stituzioni analitiche ad uso dell a giovent italiana in 1748. This book received acclaim in academic circles all over Europe. The book's objective was to give a complete and comprehensive treatment of algebra and calculus. Newton was still alive when Agnesi was born, so that the development of the differential and integral calculus was still in progress during her lifetime.

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:
