Hypatia of Alexandria (355 or 370 - 415) - Greek - philosopher, astronomer, mathematician - She was the salaried head of the Neoplatonic School in Alexandria, Egypt, from the year 400. Her students were pagan and Christian young men from around the empire. She was killed by a mob of Christians in 415, probably inflamed by the bishop of Alexandria, Cyril. http://womenshistory.about.com/od/hypati1/a/hypatia.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia_of_Alexandria
