Hypatia of Alexandria was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, the first notable woman in mathematics, and also taught in the fields of astronomy and astrology. She lived in Alexandria in Roman Egypt at the turn of the Fifth Century, at a time when paganism was actively suppressed. Her fame stems principally from her murder in 415 AD at the hands of a Christian mob. Letters written to Hypatia by her pupil Synesius give an idea of her intellectual milieu. Wikipedia
