Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 360–415 AD) was a prominent mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher of late antiquity. She lived and worked in Alexandria, one of the most important intellectual and cultural metropolises of the time. Hypatia was the daughter of the mathematician Theon, who enabled her to receive an exceptional education – a rarity for women in antiquity.

She taught publicly, was a respected representative of Neoplatonism, and contributed to mathematics with commentaries on the works of Apollonius and Diophantus. She was also active in astronomy and technology, for example through the development and use of instruments such as the astrolabe.

Hypatia fell victim to a political and religious power struggle in Alexandria, which was increasingly influenced by Christianity. In 415 AD, she was brutally murdered by an angry mob – her death is considered a symbol of the conflict between science and religious fanaticism and marks the end of classical ancient culture in Alexandria.

To this day, Hypatia is considered a symbolic figure for science, reason and female emancipation.
