- It is studied in mathematics. For students of applied mathematics, they can be helped by remembering the speed formula: 

v = e / t  ->  t = e / v

- Make the students see the importance of using the most appropriate units. In this case it is important for the result in hours to be transformed into years, months, etc., as it will make the time needed to arrive more understandable.

- Due to 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 certain gifts for painting, music and poetry, she learned mathematics, medicine and history. She was also fluent in numerous 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).

- Contemporaries of hers were renowned astronomers and mathematicians such as Sophia Brahe (1556-1643), Elisabeth Hevelius (1647-1693) and Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia (1646-1684), philosopher and mathematician; and many others dedicated to other sciences such as Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673), prolific writer on natural philosophy (now physics); Martine Bertereau (1590-1642), specialist in mining engineering and mineralogist; or Marie Meurdrac (1610-1680), alchemist and chemist.
