Hypatia ( /haɪˈpeɪʃə/; Greek: Ὑπατία, Hypatía); born between AD 350 and 370; died March 415) was a Greek[2][3][4] scholar from Alexandria, Egypt,[5][6] considered the first notable woman in mathematics, who also taught philosophy and astronomy.[7] She lived in Roman Egypt, and was killed by a Christian mob who accused her of religious turmoil.[8] Some suggest that her murder marked the end of what is traditionally known as Classical antiquity,[9][10] although others such as Christian Wildberg observe that Hellenistic philosophy continued to flourish until the age of Justinian in the sixth century.
