The term "4th-century mathematicians" typically refers to mathematicians who were active during the 4th century AD (300-399). This period is notable for several key figures in the history of mathematics and science. Here are some prominent mathematicians and contributions from that time: 1. **Diophantus**: Although he is often thought to have lived a bit later (around the 3rd century), his work influenced those in the 4th century.
Hypatia refers to a few notable subjects, primarily in history and mathematics. The most prominent reference is to Hypatia of Alexandria, a distinguished mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher from ancient Egypt (c. 360–415 AD). She was one of the first known female mathematicians and was a significant figure in the Neoplatonic school of philosophy. Hypatia was known for her work on mathematics and astronomy, including her contributions to the understanding of conic sections.
