Maria Agnesi Vatican stamp
The Maria Agnesi Vatican stamp is out! Thanks to Professor Shirley Gray for her efforts, and all Association of Women in Mathematics supporters who helped make it happen. Maria Agnesi wrote the first known book to discuss both differential and integral calculus, and she was appointed by Pope Benedict XIV to a chair of mathematics and natural philosophy at the University of Bologna. She abandoned academics later in life and devoted herself to charitable work and spiritual reflection. The stamp depicts her in prayer with a mathematical formula on the wall and a paper on the floor which contains a famous bell shaped curve she formulated called the "Witch of Agnesi."

Need help? Attend an SI session!
Beginning this week, SI leaders will be holding sessions outside of class to go over and review course materials. The SI program provides peer support by having students who succeeded in traditionally difficult academic courses and help other students complete these courses. SI is a non-remedial approach that provides regular review sessions outside of class in which students work collaboratively by discussing readings, comparing notes, working together to predict test items, and sharing ideas for improving class material. You can find the SI schedule at the top left corner of the tutoring centers website.
