M.G. Agnesi, R. Rampinelli and the Riccati Family: A Cultural Fellowship Formed for an Important Scientific Purpose, the Instituzioni analitiche (2015)

unapi

The intense correspondence that developed between Rampinelli, Agnesi and the Riccatis from 1745 to 1752 documents with a wealth of details the exchange of scientific ideas that arose around the writing and printing of Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventù italiana. Reconstructing the history and significance of this undertaking can help us understand the role that Agnesi's work played in the mathematics and general culture in Italy at the time, as well as the farsightedness of her tutors and supporters. It can also help demonstrate why today we no longer consider valid the judgments that Loria and Truesdell passed on this exemplar of a female intellectual.
