Remarks by David Eisenbud at the PACOM 2004 Opening Ceremony It is often asserted – and it is true! – that Mathematics is an international enterprise. Theorems know no geographic boundaries – what's true in Africa is true in Asia and America as well, and presumably also on Mars or the planets of the Andromeda galaxy. But there is another important dimension to this internationalism, one closer to home: the free meeting of mathematicians from different places adds a great deal to the pursuit of mathematics. A lot of mathematics is communicated orally, by mathematicians in informal conversation. The research group that remains isolated from the world may be severely limited. So it is that meetings like this one are of great importance in bringing mathematicians together. Many African mathematicians are already quite familiar with the departments of the US and Europe. But for the magic of international exchange to work fully, the exchange must be really that: it must go both ways. Many US mathematicians have not yet paid scientific visits to Africa; for example, this is my first. I'm truly delighted to have the opportunity this week to get to know so many new African mathematicians, and to deepen my knowledge of our discipline by an interchange with them. On behalf of the American Mathematical Society, let me express my enthusiasm for encouraging this exchange of cultural and mathematical riches, and my warm appreciation of this great PACOM meeting.

AIMS is a collaborative project of the Universities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch and the Western Cape. Courses will be taught in association with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the United Kingdom and the University of Paris-Sud in France. The Institute will initially focus on a one-year residential postgraduate course covering areas of modern science, to be taught by outstanding African and international lecturers, with the ultimate goal of strengthening scientific and technological capacity across Africa. The course will develop strong foundations in mathematical research skills, while providing an overview of many of the most exciting cutting-edge fields in science, including bio-informatics, molecular biology, ecological mathematics, financial mathematics, cosmology, and wireless communication technology.

27. Ammsi Activities of professional meetings to enable african mathematicians have outlet or the assemblage and maintenance of a database on african mathematicians, http://www.ammsi-maths.org/Site Files/Activities3.htm

Linkages and Networks In Africa, the practice and teaching of mathematics are gravely hampered by the relative isolation of mathematicians from one another. This isolation is largely a function of the small population of mathematicians and the large distances between them. The AMMSI intends to support linkages, networks, and movement of mathematicians that can foster more collaborative activities and, to some extent, combat the relative isolation of mathematicians, through several mechanisms, for example: Facilitating the organization of professional meetings to enable African mathematicians have outlet or means of gaining recognition among their peers and broadening their professional network; Support for national and regional mathematics organizations in Africa that are dormant because of lack of support by the governments and the private sector; Supporting the assemblage and maintenance of a database on African mathematicians, including their areas of interest and major contributions.

My lecture is in four short parts; the first, "Mathematics yesterday, today and tomorrow," attempts to reflect on what mathematics is, how it has developed and where we are taking it to. " Complex Analysis in the realm of Mathematics," puts one particular area of mathematics into perspective, and is followed by a focus on specific aspects of this area, effected by providing some instant insights. The epilogue considers the endangered species of the African Mathematician and the challenges that their impending demise poses for Nigeria and the African Continent. In each part but one, we shall show that the complex is in some sense simple - contradictions? Certainly not! - just excellent paradoxes!

Ancient and present achievements contradict such statements.

When her servitude ended, Molly purchased a farm along the Patapsco River near Baltimore. and two slaves. In time she set the slaves free and married one of them, a man named Bannaky (changed from Banna Ka). They had several children, one a daughter named Mary. Mary Bannaky grew up, purchased a slave, Robert, whom she later married and lived on the family farm. On Nov. 9, 1731, a son, Benjamin, was born to Robert and Mary Bannaky. Using the Bible, Molly Bannaky taught Mary's children to read, and soon after, Benjamin would read the bible to his mother and grandmother. For those times, life was good to this little community, but work was hard, but not challenging to Benjamin. He learned to play the flute and the violin, and when a Quaker school opened in the valley, Benjamin attended it during the winter where he learned to write and elementary arithmetic. He had an eighth-grade education by time he was 15, at which time he took over the operations for the family farm. He devised an irrigation system of ditches and little dams to control the water from the springs (known around as Bannaky Springs) on the family farm. Their tobacco farm flourished even in times of drought.

The African Mathematical Union The African Mathematical Union was founded in 1976 at the first Pan-African Conference of Mathematicians was held in Rabat, Morocco. Its first President was Henri Hogbe Nlend from Cameroon who published an important text Bornologies and functional analysis in 1977. In 1978 the Union began publication of the journal Africa Matematika. Nlend held the presidency until the second Pan-African Congress of Mathematicians held in Jos, Nigeria, in 1986 when the second President Aderemi Kuku was elected. He is a Nigerian who works in K-theory and at the time of his election he was Head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Ibadan. The Union set up four commissions in 1986: the Commission on the History of Mathematics in Africa; the Commission on Women in Mathematics in Africa; the Commission Mathematics Education; and the Commission on Mathematics Olympiad. In 1991 the third Pan-African Congress of Mathematicians was held in Nairobi, Kenya, and at this time Aderemi Kuku was re-elected to serve another term as President. At the fourth Pan-African Congress of Mathematicians held in Ifrane, Morocco, in 1995, Ahmed Kerkour was elected President of the Society.

Home SPEECH BY DR BEN NGUBANE, MINISTER OF ARTS, CULTURE, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AT PAN-AFRICAN MATHEMATICS OLYMPIAD, 30 April 2002 Members of the African Mathematics Union Distinguished Members of the Diplomatic Corps Colleagues and most important of all, young mathematicians. South Africa is proud to welcome the Olympiad teams - the 60 bright young mathematicians from over Africa who travelled to our country to participate in this event, the 12th Pan-African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO). In the spirit of African friendship, it is wonderful that all of you can come together, not only to compete, but also to get to know one-another. Through this experience, I hope that you will discover new enthusiasm for mathematics. Let me first congratulate you all. Some have overcome immense personal difficulties to be here; others have overcome immense mathematical difficulties. You have all shown great talent, perseverance, and a real capacity for tremendous hard work. Welcome to the Ambassadors of participating countries, and the Olympiad team leaders. This year's PAMO is historic in that 11 African countries are participating - two thirds of Africa, and a substantial increase in participants from previous years. I would like to thank the Foundation for Education, Science and Technology (FEST) for taking the initiative to host PAMO this year, and for the effort that has gone into arranging the competition. It is only the second time since South Africa joined the African Mathematics Union (AMU) in 1995 that the event has been hosted in our country, and I believe it has been extremely successful.
