The story of Hypatia is what led her to her upcoming and how she made an impact to society. Her father Theon of Alexandria, Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus influenced her in like and learning to love and have a passion for mathematics and everything that came with it.

Her words embraced others as much as herself by dedicating her life and virginity.She was a dedicated woman that loved at what she did and learned in her time she is an ancient woman of Alexandria that made a difference to our society of where Parabolas, hyperbolas and ellipses. Hypatia life just began let's see how it ends. She was an ancient woman in our society that made a difference is what we know and how we know it. Hypatia created things that we use to this day, she made history that…

were conducted by using the formulas of x-y=a and x^2-y^2=(x-y) +b, which were referred to as simultaneous pairs. Most of her well known contributions to math were revisions to the work of her male cohorts. Three of her heavily appraised corrections and commentaries were to that of: Ptolemy’s “Almagest”, Apollonius’ review of Conics, and her father Theon’s lessons of the “Euclid Elements”. She even revised her commentary of “The Arithmetica” conducted by Diophantus. Out of all her revisions,…

include: circles, parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas. A circle can be formed from a cone if a plane intersects with the cone at an angle perpendicular to the base of the cone. This circle is also formed by the equation: (x-h)2+ (y-k)2=r2. This equation creates a relation because the collection of points does not pass the vertical line test. To form a specific circle, only 3, non-collinear, unique points are necessary. In order to form a circle when B is equal to 0, then A must equal C. If this…

The Optica Promota is the work that analyzed the refractive and reflective properties of lens and mirrors based on various conic sections and substantially developed the Johannes Kepler’s theory of the telescope. In 1663, he visited The Hague and Paris before settling in Padua, Italy, to study geometry, mechanics, and astronomy. While in Italy in he wrote Vera Circuli et Hyperbola Quadratura in 1667. He used a modification of the method of exhaustion of Archimedes to find the areas of the…

And how did she discover she wanted to become a mathematician? Hypatia is the daughter of Theon of Alexandria who was also a mathematician and an astronomer. Hypatia clearly took after her father and became a mathematician and an astronomer but, she also became a philosopher. Theon of Alexandria played in preservation of Euclid’s Elements, he also did commentaries on the Ptolemy’s Almagest and Handy Tables. Hypatia continued her fathers program which was to make effort to preserve the Greek…

Studies over the use of extreme language have proven that extreme word choices can create many problems as well as solutions. Linguists don’t just believe in communication, they believe we use language to help construct or describe our view of reality. Extreme language features hyperbolas, exaggerations and dichotomous language; all of which can be used to shape and describe an experience in our lives or around us. (Meek W. 2011) In counselling, therapists identify the use of extreme language…
