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.


WHO IS SHE?

Once you have guessed it, write  HER NAME in the post and ADD ANOTHER BIOGRAPHICAL datum different from the ones i have already mentioned....GOOD LUCK ( Courtesy of Pastora, your Maths teacher)
