Problem 30
 Which of the following is a true story about a famous woman mathematician?
Hypatia was the first recognized women mathematician. She was born in Alexandria, Egypt,
around 350AD and was a recognized scholar. Besides being a mathematician, she was an
astute astronomer and a philosopher. An angry Christian mob killed her.
* She wrote a commentary on the 13th volume of the famous Greek mathematics text
book, 'Arithmetica'.
* She edited Ptolemy's famous version of the 'Almagest'.
* She edited her father's commentary on 'Euclid's Elements'.
Maria Gaetana Agnesi was a child prodigy, an Italian linguist and a math wizard. Born in a
wealthy family in 1718, she was the 21st child of her parents. She was fluent in 6
languages. Some of her contributions are as follows:
* She wrote the first book introducing integral and differential calculus.
* She determined the equation of a peculiar curve, which came to be known as the 'Witch
of Agnesi'.
Marie Sklodowska Curie was born in 1868 in Poland, eventually becoming a famous
biologist and mathematician in Germany. She was the first woman professor at the
University of Stutgart and developed the mathematical theory behind radiocarbon dating.
