Book description
Michael Deakin tells the compelling story of Hypatia of Alexandria, the world's foremost mathematician of her era. What emerges from his analysis of all the available material on Hypatia in English translation is the first biography ever to give her contributions to mathematics the same rigorous attention that so many have lavished on her life story.
