mathematician, scientist, and philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was a woman who was born in 350-370 A.D. and died in 415 A.D. She was the first notable woman in mathematics. She was the leading philosopher of her day, and the last of the great philosophers in the ancient Greek tradition. She was the daughter of Theon. There is no record of her mother.

It is not known exactly when Hypatia of Alexandria was born. The dates most commonly given are between 350 and 370 AD. We do know the exact year of her death, 415 AD. The grisly details of her cruel death were recorded by historians of her time.

Hypatia was a female philosopher who unfortunately fell victim to the polarization and political infighting between Christians and Jews in Alexandria. Angered that ruler, Orestes often sought her counsel, some began to blame her for Oreste's reluctance to reconcile with Cyril. A mob of fanatics kidnapped her, stripped her and then stoned her to death.
