Subject: Re: "witch of Agnesi" (fwd)
The Witch of Agnesi refers to a mathematical curve that was a part of the
work for which Maria Agnesi became known. SHE was NOT the witch, the graph
of the curve looked to some like a witch. I have more information about
this female mathematician if anyone would like it. Just let me know!
