Named For
This badge was named after Hypatia.

Hypatia was an Alexandrine Neoplatonist philosopher in Egypt who was the first well-documented woman in mathematics. As a Neoplatonist philosopher, she belonged to the mathematic tradition of the Academy of Athens, as represented by Eudoxus of Cnidus; she was of the intellectual school of the 3rd century thinker Plotinus, which encouraged logic and mathematical study in place of empirical enquiry and strongly encouraged law in place of nature.
