ON MATHS...




Guess, guess who she is...


-She is Italian and lived in XVII century.

- She was brought up in a well-off family and was taught by a private professor at home.

-She attended intelectual meetings organized by your parents at home since she was 13 years old. She joined the adult discussions smartly and successfully.

-She contributed a vast and modern manual about Algebra written to be understood and studied by lay-people. 

-She was known by a very peculiar "curve" that was mistranslated from her book and was named "the witch".

- However she was appointed Doctor in Maths for the Bolonia University by the Pope Benedicto XIV ,  she was a very humble human being.  

-She devoted the last  years of her life to Charity and died at the age of 80.
