Answer: Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718 – 1799) was the first woman to write a mathematics handbook and the first woman appointed as a mathematics professor at a university. At the height of her career, she abandoned her studies to devote herself to charitable works and spiritual reflection. She wrote extensively on the marriage between intellectual pursuit and mystical contemplation. See also: • 2018 UFN Bulletin 300th Anniversary of the birth of Maria Gaetanna Agnesi
