Michael Deakin Biography

Michael Deakin is one of the most popular and richest Film Producer who was born on February 21, 1939 in England, United Kingdom. Deakin was born August 1939. Deakin was born in Tasmania and moved to Melbourne after high school. He then completed a second year of Latin studies at St Patrick’s College in East Melbourne. After that, he entered the University of Melbourne in 1956. In 1961, he completed a bachelor’s with second-class honours mathematics at Melbourne. In 1963, he earned a master’s in mathematics at Melbourne. His thesis was on integral equations.

In 1992, Function published Deakin’s first article on Hypatia. He published Hypatia of Alexandria, Mathematician & Martyr (Prometheus Books) in 2007. The book, which is aimed at a large audience, “at least in part” responds to Maria Dzielska’s Hypatia Of Alexandria, which had emphasized Hypatia’s literary and historical legacy at the expense her mathematics. Deakin had previously reviewed the American Mathematical Monthly. Deakin’s book organizes the work and theories of other scholars about Hypatia’s math, primarily relying on the earlier work by Wilbur Knorr. Deakin argues that Hypatia, unlike other Neoplatonists at her time, was not against Christianity and that the Christian mob who killed her probably misunderstood their philosophical position. His book, however, has been criticised for portraying Hypatia as more of an idealized icon or as a caricature, rather than as a real person from her time.

A group of Monash University mathematicians led by Gordon Preston, Monash University’s department chair, recognized the need to create a journal that was focused on mathematics. It would be addressed to secondary students and not just mathematicians. Secondary but not explicit goals were to encourage young women in math, since their under-representation at the time was well known. Deakin later, with colleagues from other disciplines over beers, came up with the name Function for the new journal. Deakin was a founding member and contributor to the journal from 1977 through 2004. He also served as its editor-in chief for much of its existence.
