Observacions i context

- She is studied in mathematics.

- Because of her great knowledge and her later contributions to science and culture, she was known as the "Silesian Pallas" (Pallas was the god of wisdom in Greek mythology). Apart from showing some talent for painting, music and poetry, she learned mathematics, medicine and history. She also mastered a great number of languages.

- Since ancient times there were women like Maria who were passionate about astronomy and mathematics, such as Enheduanna (c.-2285 -c.-2250 BC), considered the first astronomer in history, Aglaonice of Thessaly (c.-500-c.-400 BC), Hypatia of Alexandria (c.370-c.416 AC), Fatima de Madrid (c.900-c.1100 AC) and Ana Comneno (1083-1153).
