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.
