	Maria Gaetana Agnesi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agnesi is credited with writing the first book discussing both differential and integral calculus.
		Maria was recognized as a child prodigy very early; she could speak both French and Italian at five years of age.
		These displays, being probably not altogether congenial to Maria (who was of a retiring disposition) ceased by her twentieth year, and it is even said that she had a strong desire to enter a convent at that time.

		Nel 1740, a 22 anni, Maria Gaetana inizia un periodo di studi in collaborazione con Padre Ramiro Rampinelli, professore di Fisica e Matematica a Milano nel monastero degli Olivetani di San Vittore e pioniere della matematica analitica.
