She lived from c. 350-370 AD - 415 AD in Alexandria (current Egypt, but Roman Empire at that time).
She lectured on Plato and Aristotle, commented on works by Diophantus and Apollonius, and contributed to astronomy, making her one of history's first notable female mathematicians.
Modern speculative estimates based on her accomplishments place her IQ around 170-190.
DEATH:
She died in March 415. a mob of Christians under the leadership of a lector named Peter raided Hypatia's carriage as she was travelling home, dragged her into a building known as the Kaisarion, stripped Hypatia naked and murdered her using ostraka.
They cut out her eyeballs, tore her body into pieces and dragged her limbs through the town to a place called Cinarion, where they set them on fire
