You know that little app you use on your phone to do your calculations? It has a fun, clunky history full of interesting inventions! The history of the calculator goes as far back as 300 CE with the Salamis Tablet. Today, we can graph in 3-D and solve even the most complex abstract algebraic equations!

Hypatia was one of the first female mathematicians that we know of. Her accomplishments were many. She was a valued Alexandrian teacher who taught mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. She was a government advisor and was respected by leader all across the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, her death overshadows the sum of her incredible life. In this podcast, I read the first chapter of my book titled Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life!
