Observacions i context
- She can be studied in applied mathematics. Teachers can decide, depending on the group, if questions 4 and 5 will be completed.
- Florence Nightingale is known for being a pioneer in modern medicine and for being a mathematician. She stood out in statistics, creating pie charts and applying descriptive statistics. She also worked as a writer, politician and teacher.
- She was contemporary with other important female mathematicians: Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), pioneer in computer language; Mary Everest Boole (1832-1916), who studied mostly geometry; Sofya Kovalevskaya (1850-1891), devoted to mathematical analysis and differential equations; Charlotte Angas Scott (1858-1931), who worked on algebra and geometry and fought for the inclusion of women in universities; Mary Somerville (1780-1872), considered to be "the queen of 19th century science"; and Maria Mitchell (1818-1889), first woman to be a professional astronomer in the United States.
- She was an inspiration to other women that later on worked on statistics and probability, like Hilda Geiringer (1893-1973) and Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1906-1972).
- Nightingale's work is also an important link in the study of English feminism. In some of her essays, like Cassandra, she complains about how women were considered incompetent and she demands a better education for them and the possibility to apply this education.
