The local bishop, Cyril of Alexandria who may have instigated themor at the very least turned a blind eye to their crimeswas later made a saint. Her death is seen as the end of classical learning and free inquiry and the beginning of a dogmatic and often brutal new world order. Alexandria , where Hypatia was born and seems to have lived her entire life, was long considered a place of learning. Peter James and Nicholas Thorpe, in their book Ancient Inventions refer to the city as "the scientific center of the ancient Greek world."

Hypatia studied with her father, and with other philosophers, including Plutarch the Younger. Eventually she became a teacher at the Neoplatonist school of philosophy. She became the director of this school in 400. She probably wrote on mathematics, astronomy and philosophy, including about the motions of the planets, about number theory and about conic sections. Some of her works, now lost to history, include The Astronomical Canon A Commentary on the Arithmetica of Diophantus and A Commentary on the Conics of Apollonious . She edited the third book of her father's Commentary on the Almagest of Ptolemy Remarkable for a woman at the time, she dressed in philosophers robes rather than female dress and drove in her own chariot through the streets of the city. She was a pagan in an era in which the Christian church had increasingly grown in power and influence. In the same style of Socrates, over eight centuries earlier, she would publicly interpret Plato, Aristotle, or the works of any other philosopher to those who wished to hear her.

Hypatia of Alexandria Compiled by Sharon Mooney HYPATIA (370?-415 A.D.), Greek philosopher, born in Alexandria, daughter of the mathematician Theon (q.v.). She assisted her father in his writings, and succeeded him as lecturer on mathematics and Greek philosophy. Her intellectual gifts and her beauty attracted students from foreign countries; and her judgment was so respected that the city magistrates of Alexandria consulted her on important cases. In about 400 A.D. she was the undisputed leader of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy at Alexandria (see NEOPLATONISM). She was the author of commentaries on ancient astronomical and mathematical works. Because of her association with Orestes, the pagan prefect of Alexandria who opposed the persecution of the Jews and other non-Christians initiated by Bishop Cyril (see CYRIL, SAINT), Hypatia was murdered by a mob of Christians and her body was burned. She is the heroine of the historical romance Hypatia (1853) by the English novelist Charles Kingsley. Source:Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia 1950 and 1951 III.-

Hypatia of Alexandria Mathematician, Astronomer, and Philosopher (d. 415 C.E.) Hypatia was a mathematician, astronomer, and Platonic philosopher. According to the Byzantine encyclopedia The Suda , her father Theon was the last head of the Museum at Alexandria. Hypatia's prominence was accentuated by the fact that she was both female and pagan in an increasingly Christian environment. Shortly before her death, Cyril was made the Christian bishop of Alexandria, and a conflict arose between Cyril and the prefect Orestes. Orestes was disliked by some Christians and was a friend of Hypatia, and rumors started that Hypatia was to blame for the conflict. In the spring of 415 C.E., the situation reached a tragic conclusion when a band of Christian monks seized Hypatia on the street, beat her, and dragged her body to a church where they mutilated her flesh with sharp tiles and burned her remains.

Search Hypatia Written by Ginny Adair, Class of 1998 (Agnes Scott College) The life of Hypatia was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon raised Hypatia in a world of education. Most historians now recognize Hypatia not only as a mathematician and scientist, but also as a philosopher. Historians are uncertain of different aspects of Hypatia's life. For example, Hypatia's date of birth is one that is highly debated. Some historians believe that Hypatia was born in the year 370 AD. On the other hand, others argue that she was an older woman (around 60) at the time of her death, thus making her birth in the year 355 AD. Throughout her childhood, Theon raised Hypatia in an environment of thought. Historians believe that Theon tried to raise the perfect human. Theon himself was a well known scholar and a professor of mathematics at the University of Alexandria. Theon and Hypatia formed a strong bond as he taught Hypatia his own knowledge and shared his passion in the search for answers to the unknown. As Hypatia grew older, she began to develop an enthusiasm for mathematics and the sciences (astronomy and astrology). Most historians believe that Hypatia surpassed her father's knowledge at a young age. However, while Hypatia was still under her father's discipline, he also developed for her a physical routine to ensure for her a healthy body as well as a highly functional mind. In her education, Theon instructed Hypatia on the different religions of the world and taught her how to influence people with the power of words. He taught her the fundamentals of teaching, so that Hypatia became a profound orator. People from other cities came to study and learn from her.

Home History Hypatia of Alexandria Main Menu Home Profiles Ambassadors Blogs ... Conference Hypatia of Alexandria (?370 -415) The exact date of Hypatia’s birth is uncertain, but records suggest sometime between 350 and 370 AD. Born in Alexandra in Egypt, she also studied in Greece, and is considered by many as the first notable female mathematician and astronomer, which she explored alongside her philosophy teachings. She was a strong advocate of the Plotinus way of thinking, which encouraged logical thinking and mathematical studies, and she eventually became the head of the Platonist school at Alexandria in around 400 AD. She primarily taught philosophy, in particular the works of Plato and Aristotle. People would travel from other cities to hear Hypatia lecture on different topics. Hypatia contributed to many works, some collaborative efforts with her father Theon Alexandricus, who according to the Byzantune encyclopedia, was the last head of the Museum at Alexandria. In his education of her, Theon taught her about different religions of the world, as well as how to keep good physical health. Hypatia’s most notable contributions to astronomy and science include the charting of celestial bodies and the invention of the hydrometer, used to determine the relative density and gravity of liquids. She is most well known in mathematics for her work on conic sections, introduced by Apollonius, which divided cones into different parts by a plane, which developed the ideas of hyperbolas, parabolas and ellipses. She edited the works
