What did hypatia teach other than mathematics?
Hypatia held a teaching chair in Philosophy. She was particularly known for teaching (what we now call) Neo-platonism. She taught mathematics as a discipline for the mind that would allow students to better comprehend philosophy. Two good books on Hypatia are Hypatia of Alexandria by Maria Dzielska (Harvard University Press, 1995) and Hypatia of Alexandria: Mathematician and Martyr by Michael A. B. Deakin (Prometheus Books, 2007.) I've reviewed both books on my blog and have a number of other posts on Hypatia.

The hydrometer is believed to have been invented by Archimedes in Ancient Greece around 250 BC, while the astrolabe dates back to ancient Greece and was further developed by Islamic astronomers in the medieval period. Hypatia was a renowned mathematician and philosopher in ancient Alexandria, known for her contributions to mathematics and astronomy.
Hypatia did invent the astrolabe?
Hypatia did not invent the astrolabe; this instrument for measuring the altitude of stars was developed centuries before her time. Hypatia was a renowned mathematician and philosopher in ancient Alexandria, known for her contributions to astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy.

It is possible that she made significant contributions to the development or refinement of the astrolabe, but this cannot be definitively proven.
