Grandes Mulheres: Hipatia ( 370 - 415 a. C.) matemática e filósofa,

Hipatia



Entre os génios matemáticos da Antiguidade encontra-se Hipátia (370 - 415), a primeira grande matemática da qual se tem conhecimento.
Era filha de Teão de Alexandria, também um matemático distinto e autor de várias obras, e irmã de Epifânio, segundo parece igualmente entendido em matemática. Sabe-se que seu pai, um eminente professor no museu de Alexandria (do qual mais tarde se tornou director), foi simultaneamente seu tutor, seu professor e seu companheiro.

Truth of Troy

"Since Homer's Iliad was written 3,000 years ago, generations have been enchanted by the tale of the beautiful Helen, impetuous Achilles and mighty Agamemnon - and, of course, the horse. But could there be truth in the legend? Since 1988, Professor Manfred Korfmann has been excavating the site of Troy. He has discovered how large the city was, how well it was defended and, crucially, that there was once a great battle there at precisely the time experts believe the Trojan war occurred. But who attacked the city, and why? A trail of clues - including ancient tablets written by a lost civilisation, a sunken, treasure-laden ship and the magnificent golden masks and bronze swords of a warrior people - leads to a tunnel deep beneath Troy and a discovery that may finally reveal the truth. The story that emerges is one of great passion, but not, it seems, about love."
