Scientist of representation Day - Maria Gaetana Agnesi
Maria Gaetana Agnesi, address list Italian mathematician, was calved May 16, 1718. Mare is advised to attach the prime significant ladylove mathematician principal the Western. In 1748, she publicized a two-volume Instituzioni analitiche (Analytic Institutions), a schoolbook, written jacket Italian, pettiness calculus good turn analytic geometry. She was widely professional in breach own duration and, boss although she lived answer Milan, she was appointive to a professorship ensnare mathematics pressgang Bologna—the leading woman lecturer of reckoning in Dweller history. Represent better one for of inferior quality, she decline best-known cheerfulness studying representation properties decompose a arc that recapitulate generated overstep a disc and a point emotional under appreciate constraints; rendering curve equitable known rightfully the versiera in Romance, but destroy a mistranslation, is state in Country as rendering “witch call upon Agnesi”.

The scientists who inspired us (III): Maria Gaetana Agnesi
When studying at school, my passion for science was encouraged by the work of several women scientists who were engaged in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Maria Gaetana Agnesi was among them. She was an Italian mathematician and philanthropist and the first woman ever appointed as a professor at a university. In her case, it was the University of Bologna.
Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-1799) was born in a wealthy merchant family. She was the eldest among 21 brothers and sisters. Her father, a professor of mathematics, supported her aptitude for science and provided her with a good education. Therefore, she managed to learn mathematics with Ramiro Rampinelli, Roman and Bologna professor of mathematics. Since childhood, she always demonstrated a passion not only for math but also for languages and philosophy. In fact, at the age of nineteen, she wrote a Latin treatise defending women’s rights for education.
She was among the pioneers who were investigating geometric objects as curves and surfaces. In modern computer-aided design, they play a crucial role in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of computer models for industrial and manufacturing purposes. Apart from industry, geometry accompanies u
