Hypatia The Sum of Her Life is now on sale!
The story of her life is an intriguing one! She was a mathematician, an astronomer, a philosopher, and a political advisor, yet she was brutally murdered by church monks. For thousands of years, her death overshadowed her accomplishments. But, eventually, the truth of her life finally surfaced in the history books.
Damascius wrote that Theon raised Hypatia with dikaeosyne (justice) and sophrosyne (temperance). She was respected by Roman leaders and cherished by her disciples. Her mathematics covered Diophantine equations, dimensions of the circle, and cubics, and contributed to commentaries on Euclid’s Elements, Ptolemy’s Almagest, and Archimedes’ Dimension of the Circle. Still, she was most remembered for her death.
My book looks at Hypatia’s accomplishments and her imprint on history. You can get it here on Amazon
And…now that the book is done, expect to see more podcasts!
