Pandrosion

(

... that Pandrosion may have been an earlier female contributor to mathematics than Hypatia? Source: O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "Pandrosion of Alexandria", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews: "There still remains the question of whether Pandrosion made "a substantial contribution to the development of mathematics." — O'Connor and Robertson do not definitely answer this question hence the "may have" wording in the hook and the omission of the word "substantial", but I think the Knorr reference in our article makes a strong case for a positive answer.

Very interesting article and hook! It's new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. The hook is supported by the supplied source. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 05:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
