Hypatia held a teaching chair in Philosophy. She was particularly known for teaching (what we now call) Neo-platonism. She taught mathematics as a discipline for the mind that would allow students to better comprehend philosophy. Two good books on Hypatia are Hypatia of Alexandria by Maria Dzielska (Harvard University Press, 1995) and Hypatia of Alexandria: Mathematician and Martyr by Michael A. B. Deakin (Prometheus Books, 2007.) I've reviewed both books on my blog and have a number of other posts on Hypatia.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two things that hypatia invented?
Hypatia, the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher, is credited with significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy rather than specific inventions. She is known for her work on the development of the astrolabe, an ancient instrument used for solving problems related to time and the position of celestial bodies, and for her advancements in algebra and geometry, including the refinement of the concepts of conic sections. While she may not have "invented" these tools outright, her contributions greatly influenced their use and development.
Do palindromic numbers have any significance?
Other than the fact that much of mathematics is about patterns, NO.
Why number 73 is important in mathematics?
It is not particularly significant, other than being a prime.
Is Algebra in mathematics come under pure mathematics?
pure mathematics is mathematics studied and used reasons other than application. So some algebra certainly might be, but not all algebra. Modern or abstract algebra would fit better in that category.
What is the meaning of the term googal in mathematics?
In mathematics, a googol is the number expressed by the digit one followed by a hundred zeroes. There is actually no mathematical significance to the number other than for comparison.
Did Hypatias biographer think she invented the astrolabe?
No, Hypatia's biographer did not think she invented the astrolabe. The astrolabe was a navigational tool that existed long before Hypatia's time, and she was known for her contributions to mathematics, philosophy, and astronomy rather than its invention.
Did the hypatia biography have more primary sources than the Joyner biography?
Yes, the Hypatia biography had more primary sources than the Joyner biography. Hypatia's biography was based on first-hand accounts and historical documents from her time, while the Joyner biography relied more on secondary sources and interpretation of events.

How was hypatia brave?
Hypatia was more likely a victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than being a martyr for any particular religious or political belief. She was accused of causing a rift between the Prefect of Alexandria & the Bishop of Alexandria. Initially, the Christians who killed Hypatia were actually going to kill the Prefect, until they learned that he was a Christian. So they turned on Hypatia instead.
Did Hypatia ever get an award?
There is no historical record of Hypatia receiving a specific award during her lifetime. She was a respected mathematician and philosopher in ancient Alexandria, known for her intellectual achievements rather than accolades.
