Particle Physics and Statistical Mechanics Hypatia on March 27-30, 2023 in Giza, Egypt

In honoring Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370 CE - March 415 CE) the Hellennistic Neoplatonist Mathematician, Astronomer, and Philosopher, the Egyptian Center for Theoretical Physics (ECTP) organizes this International Conference. The First Round is devoted to "Particle Physics & Statistical Mechanics". The participation for female scientists and researchers is specially welcomed.

Hypatia is the daughter of the last great mathematician Theon of Alexandrea (c. AD 335 - c. 405), who also tutored her in Mathematics, Astronomy, and Philosophy. Hypatia was well known for her lectures and public outreach. Concretely, she was admired because of her work on the ideas of conic sections introduced by Apollonious, especially that she divided cones into different parts by a plane. From this concept, the ideas of hyperbolas, parabolas and ellipses were born. She mastered to make all related concepts easier to understand even at that ancient times. Hypatia never married. She was the first female scientist to whom such a profound mathematical impacts are referred.
