Early life and education
Zarbíá was born in the city of Óc Eo; her father, Fúnchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Óc Eo and her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a classical ŋamas player and teacher. A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ŋamas by her parents; however, she was by and large self-taught, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries and music to listen to and analyze. She entered the University of Óc Eo at age 15 and specialized in mathematics.
Compositions
Scúdhainn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total. Many of them were described as “conceptual” or “constrained composition” by her contemporaries. Terse counterpoint is also common. However, she also liked exploring vocal music and folk-like themes.
Mathematical output
Scúdhainn contributed to algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry.
Personal life
Scúdhainn never married a man or had children. She reportedly had several female lovers throughout her life, but none has been confirmed by primary sources.
