HYPATIA OF ALEXANDRIA
BIOGRAPHY
Hypatia of Alexandria
was born in 370 in Alexandria, Egypt. She was murdered in
415, when she was around to 45 years old. She was a
Mathematician, Philosopher, Astronomer, writer and inventor.
Hypatia was daughter and
disciple of the Philosopher, Mathematician and Astronomer Theon of Alexandria. She lived her childhood in an academic and cultural environment because her father taught her mathematics and astronomy. Later, she was the first woman mathematician.
She was a beautiful
woman and she looked after body and exercised every day.
Hypatia wrote a book
of Geometry, Algebra and Astronomy.
In my opinion, she
was an open minded woman.
She was a privileged
woman because she could have education in her life time.
Her quotes are ahead
of her time, for example:
Independently of our
colour, race and religion we are brothers.
