Hypatia, (born c. 355 CE—died March 415, Alexandria), mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists. She lived for 73 years !
A lack of conclusive historical evidence has left the date of Hypatia’s birth open to conjecture. The most commonly cited date is 370, given by the German classicist Richard Hoche in 1860 based on his interpretation of Hypatia’s biography in the Suda Lexicon, a 10th-century Byzantine encyclopaedia. Since the 1980s this date has been revisited by scholars who argue that Hoche’s interpretation of the Suda Lexicon is based on several incorrect assumptions and that an earlier date is more plausible. In support of an earlier birth date for Hypatia, it has been noted that Synesius of Cyrene, Hypatia’s most prominent student, is believed to have been born about 370, and he must have been significantly younger than his teacher. Also, the 6th-century chronicler John Malalas wrote that Hypatia was an old woman at the time of her death in 415. Michael Deakin and Maria Dzielska, two later biographers of Hypatia, both accept 355 as an approximate birth date.
