Abstract

In 2018, we celebrated the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, mathematician and benefactress, born in Milan (Italy). We have examined the Analytical Institutions, the main work of Maria Gaetana, that she dedicated to students’ education.

From this point of view, we can use many suggestions
