Sunshine for Women Book Summaries Home Hypatia of Alexandria Maria Dzieska Harvard University Press 1995 1) "Hypatia was murdered by "a troop of savage and merciless fanatics" instigated by Cyril, and the crime was never punished, apparently because "superstition [Christianity] perhaps would more gently expiate the blood of a virgin, than the banishment of a saint." This representation of the "Alexandrian crime" perfectly fitted Gibbon's theory that the rise of Christianity was the crucial cause of the fall of the ancient civilization." page 4 2) "After studying the epigram some scholars, such as Wolfgang Meyer, have inferred that there were two Hypatias: Theon's daughter, at the turn of the fourth and fifth centuries, and Erythrius' daughter, in the second half of the fifth century. This conclusion, however, is only partly correct, for we know that there were more women named Hypatia, including a benefactress of the church in the mid-fifth century . . . . The name was by no means uncommon, and it was not confined to pagan women." page 23 3) "This brief survey indicates that Hypatia's closest, most loyal students were people who later held high imperial or ecclesiastical positions. Of even greater significance is evidence that agents of the imperial power arriving in Alexandria became close acquaintances of Hypatia and most likely attended her lectures." page 38

C.E. ) was a popular Hellenized Egyptian female philosopher , mathematician, astronomer/astrologer, and teacher who lived in Alexandria , in Hellenistic Egypt, just before the advent of the Dark Ages. Her father Theon, a mathematician and the last fellow of the Museum of Alexandria, educated her in literature, science and philosophy, and gave her credit for writing some of his mathematical treatises. She became head of the Platonic school in 400 C.E. , and lectured on philosophy and mathematics to large audiences which included some prominent Christians. Hypatia also studied science and mechanics , and her contributions to science are reputed (on scant evidence) to include the invention of the astrolabe and the hydrometer. None of her written works have survived, but several works are attributed to her by later sources, including commentaries on Diophantus 's Arithmetica , on Apollonius 's Conics and on Ptolemy 's works.

She was the daughter of a philosopher, Theon who was a teacher and a fellow of the Museum of Alexandria. During her time Alexandria, Egypt was a major center of learning and Hypatia of Alexandria became a major figure in the work of science, mathematics and philosophy. c. 391 Theophiuls who was the patriarch of Alexandria destroyed some pagan temples in the city. In the same year, the Emperor Theodosius published an edict prohibiting certain aspects of pagan worship. These actions spurred many Christians in the Roman empire to try to eliminate paganism and some destroyed pagan places of worship. c. 400 CE, Hypatia of Alexandria became head of the Platonist school in that city. She taught both mathematics and philosophy. Although she was a pagan living during a time of great tension between Christians and pagans, Hypatia of Alexandria enjoyed the respect of both Christian and pagans alike. A contemporary Christian scholar, Socrates of Constantinople said of her:

Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 380 - 415) was a philosopher, mathematician, and teacher who lived in Alexandria, then a Greek city. Several works are attributed to her by later sources, including commentaries on Diophantus' Arithmetica, on Apollonius's Conics and on Ptolemy's works, but none has survived. Letters written to her by her pupil Synesius give an idea of her intellectual milieu. She was of the Platonic school, although her adherence to the writings of Plotinus, the 3rd century follower of Plato and principal of the neo-Platonic school, is merely assumed. Hypatia's contributions to science are reputed (on scant evidence) to include the invention of the astrolabe and the hydrometer. She was the daughter of Theon, the last fellow of the Museum of Alexandria, which was adjacent to or included in the main Library of Alexandria. Hypatia did not teach in the Museum, but received her pupils in her own private home. No images of her exist, but nineteenth century writers and artists envisioned her as an Athene-like beauty. Hypatia was murdered in March 415 in the Alexandrian church of the Caesareum (a former pagan temple) by a mob led by a Christian magistrate named Peter. The motive seems to have been rooted in religious and political controversies.

Hypatia Pythagoras, Euclid, Archimedes, Fibonacci, Descartes. What is the first thing you think of when you see or hear these names? Why math of course. These men are all famous mathematicians. They have contributed to mathematics as we know it today and their names are as recognizable as Michael Jordon’s….well…almost. Yet another thing that you may think when you see these names is that they are all men. How can that be? Granted, these men made great discoveries and were the trailblazers of their eras, but were there no female mathematicians in history? If there were, how come we never hear of any?
