Hypatia Of Alexandria
hypatia of Alexandria was a famous philosopher of Egypt who ran into troublewith the Christian Church. hypatia of Alexandria (355 or 370 415/416 AD)
http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa033198.htm

Extractions: Hypatia of Alexandria (355 or 370 - 415/416 A.D.) Dateline: 03/31/98 You almosr expect to hear: "she was a fine philosopher for a woman " when hearing about ancient female prodigies. After all, our predecessors' opportunities, especially if they were "respectable" women, were nearly non-existent. HYPATIA was, simply, the last great Alexandrian mathematician and philosopher. By writing a commentary on The Conics of Apollonius of Perga which divided cones into sections by a plane , Hypatia made geometry intelligible to her students and ultimately transmissible. Since men thronged to hear her ideas on philosophy, she taught neoplatonic ideas to pagans and Christians alike, including Synesius of Cyrene, who helped create the doctrine of the Trinity.
Hypatia
Discussion of what is known about hypatia's life, with an emphasis on her role as a mathematician.
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Hypatia.html

Extractions: Hypatia of Alexandria was the first woman to make a substantial contribution to the development of mathematics. Hypatia was the daughter of the mathematician and philosopher Theon of Alexandria and it is fairly certain that she studied mathematics under the guidance and instruction of her father. It is rather remarkable that Hypatia became head of the Platonist school at Alexandria in about 400 AD. There she lectured on mathematics and philosophy, in particular teaching the philosophy of Neoplatonism . Hypatia based her teachings on those of Plotinus , the founder of Neoplatonism, and Iamblichus who was a developer of Neoplatonism around 300 AD. Plotinus taught that there is an ultimate reality which is beyond the reach of thought or language. The object of life was to aim at this ultimate reality which could never be precisely described. Plotinus stressed that people did not have the mental capacity to fully understand both the ultimate reality itself or the consequences of its existence. Iamblichus distinguished further levels of reality in a hierarchy of levels beneath the ultimate reality. There was a level of reality corresponding to every distinct thought of which the human mind was capable. Hypatia taught these philosophical ideas with a greater scientific emphasis than earlier followers of Neoplatonism. She is described by all commentators as a charismatic teacher.

http://alfreethought.org/aboutafa/hypatia.htm

Extractions: The glory of the Alexandrian Library is a dim memory. Its last remnants were destroyed soon after Hypatia's death. It was as if the entire civilization had undergone some self-inflicted brain surgery, and most of its memories, discoveries, ideas and passions were extinguished irrevocably. The loss was incalculable. The Life of Hypatia AND IN THOSE DAYS there appeared in Alexandria a female philosopher, a pagan named Hypatia, and she was devoted at all times to magic, astrolabes and instruments of music, and she beguiled many people through (her) Satanic wiles. And the governor of the city honored her exceedingly; for she had beguiled him through her magic. And he ceased attending church as had been his custom. But he went once under circumstances of danger. And he not only did this, but he drew many believers to her, and he himself received the unbelievers at his house. And on a certain day when they were making merry over a theatrical exhibition connected with dancers, the governor of the city published (an edict) regarding the public exhibitions in the city of Alexandria: and all the inhabitants of the city had assembled there (in the theater). Now Cyril, who had been appointed patriarch after Theophilus, was eager to gain exact intelligence regarding this edict.

hypatia. The Lady Philosopher of Alexandria. A More Likely Truth Based on hypatiaof Alexandria, by Maria Dzielska, Harvard University Press, 1995.
http://pages.prodigy.net/fljustice/hypatia.html

Extractions: Hypatia The Lady Philosopher of Alexandria b. 355(?) AD - d. 415 AD Picture from The Mysterious Fayum Portraits: Faces from Ancient Egypt. Read a review of this spectacular book in the research bibliography. The Legend I first came across Hypatia's story in 1980 when I attended Judy Chicago's groundbreaking feminist art exhibit "The Dinner Party." Chicago and her team selected thirty-nine subjects for an elaborate dinner party, where each "guest" (including several goddesses) was honored for her contributions to womankind with a specially designed plate and table runner. In the accompanying book, Hypatia is described as "a Roman scholar and philosopher who lived in Alexandria...she stressed the importance of goddesses and the feminine aspects of culture." The article details the pagan philosopher's death at the hands of a Christian mob. I was hooked - caught up in the romanticism and inherent drama of Hypatia's life. What I didn't realize was that many of the "facts" in this story were wrong. I embarked on a journey to learn as much as I could about this fascinating woman and found a bewildering array of fact and fiction. The primary historical record is sketchy. No letters from or writing by Hypatia exist. Socrates Scholasticus' 5th Century eccleciastical history gives an account of her death. Most of what we know comes from a the surviving letters of one of her former students, Synesius of Cyrene and later Bishop of Ptolmais.

Justice I first came across Hypatia's story in 1980 when I attended Judy Chicago's groundbreaking feminist art exhibit The Dinner Party .

In the accompanying book, Hypatia was described as a Roman scholar and philosopher who lived in Alexandria...a woman who stressed the importance of goddesses and the feminine aspects of culture. The article detailed the pagan philosopher's death in 415 AD at the hands of a Christian mob with the clear implication she was murdered because she was a woman as much as because she was a pagan. The Dinner Party came at a crucial point in my life. I had experienced discrimination at work and in the marketplace firsthand. I looked for role modelswomen who spoke out and lived their lives as they wanted, in spite of society's restrictions. The Dinner Party offered me a wealth of candidatesgoddesses, queens, literary lights. But something about Hypatia's story tugged at me. She was a scientist and mathematician in a time when woman had very few choices. She excelled and was recognized for her accomplishments. Her name came down to us through the ages, when so many women of talent remained nameless. That last fact added to the mystery, romance, and inherent drama of Hypatia's life and death. I wanted to know more.

Extractions: Hypatia Ada Lovelace Diophantine Equations I Diophantine Equations II ... More Math Concepts Hypatia (370-415 C.E.) lived and worked in the city of Alexandria. During her time, Hypatia was known as a philosopher or teacher, a very rare role for a woman. Hypatia also struggled as a female and a pagan in an increasingly Christian society. No actual documents of Hypatia's own mathematical work are known to exist. However it is strongly suggested that her work included the study of the Diophantus Arithmetica, or what we today would call Diophantine Equations. It also is believed that Hypatia studied conic sections and wrote a book about the Conics of Apollonius, or conic sections, as well as having an interest in the work of Euclid and Ptolemy. In March of 415, on her way to teach at the university, Hypatia came to a tragic end. The circumstances surrounding her death are linked to political and religious differences between Orestes, Prefect of Alexandria and a friend of Hypatia, and Cyril, the Archbishop of Alexandria. The tragedy brought an end to a truly gifted individual, teacher, and the first woman mathematician.

Hypatia of Alexandria was a female neo-Platonic philosopher who died at the hands of Christian monks in AD at an unknown age. She was the daughter of Theon, the last fellow of the Museum of Alexandria, which was adjacent to or included the main Library of Alexandria . Hypatia did not teach in the Museum, she received her pupils in her own private home. Theophilus , the patriarch of Alexandria, had destroyed all "pagan temples" in the city in 391 (as requested by a decree of the Emperor Theodosius ), which may have included the Museum and certainly included the Serapeum (a temple and "daughter library" to the Great Library). The Museum was the "Temple of the Muses", so it was a temple according to Theodosius' decree. Hypatia clearly lived during a power struggle between pagans and tolerant Christians on the one side, and dogmatic Christians who demanded the final destruction of paganism on the other. Hypatia herself was a pagan, but was respected by many Christians, and exalted by some (though by no means all) later Christian authors as a symbol of virtue, often portrayed as a life-long virgin. These later accounts should not be seen as strict historical records, though, as they often contradict each other.

http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/Museum/hyp.html

Extractions: Hypatia , the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, was born in about 370 AD. she is the earliest woman scientist whose works have been documented. As a young woman, she traveled to Athens and Italy. Upon her return to Alexandria, she became a philosopher and mathematician. She was appointed to expound the doctrines of Plato and Aristotle and was a noted lecturer on the subjects of mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and mechanics. Most of her writings dealt with mathematics, especially algebra. Her most noted work, called Arithmetica, was a commentary on the writings of Diophantus. Hypatia also wrote an explanation of the geometry works of Apollonius of Perga, which was titled, On the Conics of Apollonius. Later in her career she worked with Theon and coauthored a work on Euclid's geometry which is titled Elements. In addition to her mathematical works, Hypatia also developed an apparatus for distilling water, an instrument for measuring the level of water, a plane astrolabe (for measuring the positions of the stars, planets, and sun) and a graduated brass hydrometer for determining the specific gravity of a liquid. Hypatia's philosophical beliefs were in conflict with the views of the Christian rulers of the city of Alexandria. When Cyril, a fanatical Christian, became Partiarch of Alexadria in 412 AD he began a persecution of scholars in the city. In 415 AD Hypatia was arrested, tortured and killed in the church called Caesarium. References Alic, M. (1986).

http://uzweb.uz.ac.zw/science/maths/zimaths/hypatia.htm

Extractions: Hypatia is the first known woman mathematician, scientist and philosopher. She was born in Egypt in 370 AD. Unlike most other gifted girls of her time, she was given an education - by her liberal-minded father Theon, a respected mathematician and astronomer at the Alexandria Library (we'd call it a university). And she was able to get a job there teaching mathematics and philosophy. She was a very good lecturer and students came from all over to attend her talks. The fact that she was very pretty certainly didn't keep people away either! Her specialities were esoteric aspects of geometry and algebra, but she was also interested in the practical side of the world, inventing an astrolabe, hygrometer and water distiller amongst others. As a philosopher, her advice was much sought after by the administrators of Alexandria. And the common people - she would often give impromptu lectures in streets to any passer-by who asked her. But her influence and gender made enemies, notably Cyril, the main Christian leader at Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey). She was not a Christian, and her friends urged her to leave the increasingly fanatical people of Alexandria. She refused, saying that "even if my life is in danger, what good is a life that one does not live as one chooses?" Tragedy happened in March 415 AD. She was driving her chariot home when she was attacked by a mob that dragged her out and brutally scraped her flesh from her bones with sharp shells. They then cut up her body and burnt it. It is generally (there are exceptions) agreed amongst historians that the mob was of Christian fanatics.
