Early life and education
Zarbíá was born in the city of Flian; her father, Fálchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Flian and her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a classical ŋamsaí player. A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ŋamsaí by her parents; however, she was by and large self-taught, reading math, music and composition books and listening to and analyzing compositions by previous composers. She entered the University of Óc Eo at age 15 and specialized at age 19.
Music
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.
