Description

She was brutally skinned to death, dismembered, and then burned to ashes. She was a revered and treasured Roman citizen of Alexandria. Yet, that one spring evening during Lent in March 415, the events of her death foretold Alexandria’s dark future and precarious destiny for academia. Even today, many still dispute the architect of her assassination. Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life is Hypatia’s complete story. Hypatia embodied the sum total of her thoughts. Noble forms and worthy purposes gave way to Hypatia’s cherished philosophies and teachings. Hypatia embraced the knowledge of her academic predecessors. In turn, she fearlessly shared her wisdom with the people of Alexandria. Her principles became Alexandria’s currency as her discipleship grew. Furthermore, her mathematics left a prominent imprint on the translations that influence education today. Hypatia became known and respected across Rome by leaders who sought out her advice. She built a successful working relationship with the Pope of Alexandria. She inspired her disciples to become remarkable leaders and intellectuals at the forefront of the Roman Empire’s decline. Still, her success seeded jealousy in one prominent church leader. If you like David Rowe’s Emmy Noether, Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s Marie Curie, Ruth Lewin Sime’s Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics, and Yurie Ignatieff’s The Mathematical World of Walter Noll, then discover Hypatia, her world, and her mathematics in Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life.
