Hypatia was one of the first female mathematicians that we know of. Her accomplishments were many. She was a valued Alexandrian teacher who taught mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. She was a government advisor and was respected by leader all across the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, her death overshadows the sum of her incredible life. In this podcast, I read the first chapter of my book titled Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life! If you are interested in reading my book, please visit us at https://mathsciencehistory.com/hypatia-the-sum-of-her-life/  To read the podcast's transcripts, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

In June 2022, Emma Haruka Iwao and her team at Google computed pi to 100 trillion digits! But this number 3.1415, first determined by Archimedes, only had three digits. Archimedes left a huge impression on the world of math!  To read the podcast's transcripts, visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com. For more information about podcasting through Libsyn, visit www.Libsyn.com and use the promo code FRIEND to get the first month free!  To buy my book Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life on Amazon, visit https://a.co/d/g3OuP9h Until next time, carpe diem!
