Hypatia

Alexandria, about 370 - Alexandria, Egypt, March 415

" Preserve your right to think, because thinking wrong way is always better than not thinking at all. "

The Pythagoreans and their collateral branch of the Platonic philosophical schools of antiquity were the only to enable women to participate in teaching, between these Hypatia of Alexandria (370-415), who was martyred, torn to pieces by a mob of Christians. She considered neo-Platonic, a pagan and a follower of Pythagoras.
Hypatia was born in Alexandria during a turbulent period of strife between the Roman and Christian militants. Her father, Theon, a mathematician and astronomer, was respectable. When he realized the ability of Hypatia and her desire to study, took charge of her education. Together with his father began to write books on the geometry of Euclid and the work of Diophantus.
Hypatia was a teacher and respected charismatic, much loved by all his students. Because he was famous for having great skill in solving problems, mathematicians who were stuck for months on problems they used to write to you to know your opinion. It is said that he was physically attractive and determined to remain unmarried. When she was asked why he was obsessed with math and do not wish to marry, replied that he was already married to the Truth.
Hypatia oversaw the publication of books on geometry, algebra and astronomy.
Wearing a cloak of a philosopher and walking the streets of the city, she spoke publicly of the writings of Plato, Aristotle and other philosophers to anyone who would listen.
Christians were his strongest rivals and on a warm day in March of 415 AD, having engaged his students in a brilliant philosophical discussion, Hypatia was driving his wagon through the streets of Alexandria directly home. He noticed a crowd in front of the church and before he could turn his wagon and walk away, two men knocked out. "Kill the pagan," they shouted. Like many victims of terrorism today, was made simply because it was a very well known and important figure in the opposite side of the religious divide.
his horrible death was recorded by fifth-century Christian historian Socrates School. His murder had a negative impact for many years on the freedom of education. Mathematics entered a period of stagnation and it was only after the Renaissance that another woman, Maria Agnesi, became known as mathematics.
