Ancient Greece was the hometown of mathematics. The ancient Greeks spent a lot of effort and even life on the progress of mathematics and made outstanding contributions. This ancient civilization gave birth to many mathematicians, such as Thales, Pythagoras, Euclid, apollonius, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Helen and Diophantine. Hipatia, the first female mathematician in history, was also born here. ? 1? In 47 BC, the Roman ruler Julius Caesar set fire to the Egyptian fleet anchored in Alexandria. The fire spread to cities and libraries, and a large number of books and 500,000 manuscripts representing Greek civilization were set on fire. After the rise of Christianity, out of ignorance, superstition and religious fanaticism, Christian leaders refused pagan knowledge, especially despised mathematics, astronomy and physics, and did not allow Christians to "be contaminated with Greek scholarship." In 325 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine took religion as a ruling tool and gradually brought mathematics, philosophy and education under the control of religion. Since then, the destruction of Greek culture by Christians has become fearless and intensified. Some people even said, "Mathematicians should be torn apart by wild animals or buried alive." Hipatina was born in such an era when science began to decline and darkness was coming. In 370 AD, Hipatia was born in an intellectual family in Alexandria. My father Theon Of Smyrna is a famous mathematician and astronomer. He teaches and studies in the famous Alexandria Museum, which is a place dedicated to teaching and discussing advanced knowledge. Some famous scholars and mathematicians often go to her house. Under their influence, Hipatia is full of interest and enthusiasm for mathematics. She began to learn mathematics from her parents. Theon Of Smyrna also spared no effort to cultivate this extremely talented daughter. About 10 years old, she has mastered quite a wealth of arithmetic and geometry knowledge. With this knowledge, she learned how to measure the height of the pyramid by its shadow length. This move was greatly appreciated by her father and friends, which further increased Hipatia's interest in learning mathematics. She began to read everyone's monographs on mathematics. /kloc-When she was 0/7 years old, she took part in the debate in the whole city and pointed out Zhi Nuo's mistake: Zhi Nuo's reasoning contained unrealistic assumptions, and he limited the competition time. This debate only made Hipatia famous. Almost everyone in Alexandria knows that she is an extraordinary woman, not only beautiful in appearance, but also intelligent and studious. Before the age of 20, she had read almost all the masterpieces of mathematicians at that time, including Euclid's Elements of Geometry, apollonius's theory of conic curve, Archimedes' theory of sphere and cylinder, and Diophantine's arithmetic. In order to further expand his knowledge, one day in 390 AD, Hipatia came to the famous Greek city of Athens. She further studied mathematics, history and philosophy in the college where Plutarch Jr. was the dean. Her mastery of mathematics, especially her incisive views on Euclid geometry, greatly admired the scholars in Athens, and everyone regarded this girl in her early twenties as a great mathematician.
