   Extractions: African mathematicians have made many contributions in mathematics and science. Many times, these mathematicians had to overcome great obstacles. In class, we learned about four of these mathematicians; Hypatia,Thomas Fuller, Benjamin Banneker and Evelyn Boyd Granville. Hypatia, an Egyptian by origin, lived in Alexandria around 300 AD. She was the daughter of mathematician and philosopher Theon. As head of the Platonist school of Alexandria, she was identified by Christians as a pagan. As riots broke out in Alexandria between Christian and non-Christian groups, Hypatia became the focal point of the controversy. Because Hypatia refused to convert to Christianity she was murdered in 415 AD by a group of Christian fanatics. She developed ideas about conic sections and wrote commentaries on Diophantus's Arithmetica. She also wrote in Apollonius Conics about dividing cones into different parts by a plane. With her work in this important book, she helped make the concepts of conics easier to understand. Hypatia was the first woman to have such a great impact on the survival of early mathematics. Although all of her work is lost, the titles and references survive to this day.

I hope you are interested in this initiative. Mireille Chaleyat-Maurel Editor -> back to contents The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2004, jointly to Sir Michael Francis Atiyah, University of Edinburgh (UK) and Isadore M. Singer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). Atiyah and Singer will receive the prize "for their discovery and proof of the index theorem, bringing together topology, geometry and analysis, and their outstanding role in building new bridges between mathematics and theoretical physics". The Abel Prize Award ceremony will take place on 25 May 2005 at the University of Oslo Aula. The Abel Prize, established by the Norwegian Goverment in 2002 and awarded annually, is an international prize for outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics. The Prize carries a cash award of 6 million Norwegian kroner (about US $ 800,000). For more information, see:

    Extractions: Efforts to ally African mathematicians with mathematicians of African heritage living and working outside of Africa could help ease the continent's long-standing 'math crisis.' Math Across the Oceans T his past October, 30 African-born mathematicians, including 17 who live and work in Africa and 13 who have moved to developed countries (11 to the United States and 2 to France), participated in a two-day forum organised by the ICTP Office of External Activities (OEA). During the first day of the forum, they examined the state of mathematics in Africa. During the second day, they explored possible areas of North-South collaboration. This is not the first time that ICTP has brought together African-born scientists, who share a common heritage but now live and work oceans apart, to discuss issues of common concern. In fact, the roots of this latest meeting date back to the spring of 1989 when the Centre organised an international conference that spurred the creation of the Edward Bouchet-ICTP Institute. The institute, named after Edward Bouchet, a late 19th century Yale University graduate who became the first black physicist in the United States, is designed to promote collaboration among black physicists working in Africa and the United States. Over the past decade, the institute has sponsored a series of scientific conferencesmost recently, the 3rd Edward Bouchet-Abdus Salam ICTP International Conference held in Botswana in July 1998. News from ICTP #86, Autumn 1998). The director's observations led him to call for a roundtable discussion among expatriate and in-country African mathematicians. That, in turn, led to the October forum.

    Extractions: First Published in City Press, April, 2004 Yet what is necessary is for every African person to assume responsibility. Prior to the coming of the whites to Africa, no black people waited for whites to do anything. Every man and woman assumed his or her role and went about doing the things that were necessary to establish and maintain community. We may have been temporarily pushed off of our family and cultural positions, but de-centeredness is not a permanent condition. The fact that people can shove you off a tree stump does not mean that you have to remain off. You can certainly regain your place. We have never been less capable than any other people although that has been the propaganda that has stunted too much of our growth. What would be the reason for the incessant propaganda against Africa? Could it be that there was fear on the part of Europe to expose readers to the truth about world history? After all, human beings originated on this continent and civilization spread from here to other continents. Indeed, human civilization, emerging when the first humans decided what was proper to eat and what was not, how to live in society without killing each other, and how to shelter humans from the environment. It is an African legacy. This is not a gloat; it is merely a historical fact.
