Usually the first place we look for biographical information about individual mathematicians is the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive: http://turnbull.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/ Also, see Prof. Scott Williams' series of pages, "Mathematicians of the African Diaspora," created to exhibit the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences. http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/ Next, see "The Faces of Science: African Americans in the Sciences": http://www.princeton.edu/~mcbrown/display/faces.html I hope this will give you a good start on your project. -Doctor Sarah, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Extractions: American Mathematicians Elbert Frank Cox (1895-1969). A.B., Indiana University, 1918; Ph.D., Cornell University, 1924. First African American to earn a Ph.D. in Mathematics. Member of the Mathematics faculty at Howard University, 1929-1961. While at Howard, a professional colleague of Dudley Weldon Woodard and William W.S. Claytor. Photograph courtesy of James A. Donaldson, "Black Americans in Mathematics," in Peter Duren, ed., A Century of Mathematics in America, Part III (Providence, Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society, 1989), at page 452. In 1882 the University of Pennsylvania established its Ph.D. program in arts and sciences and ten years later awarded its first doctorate in mathematics. The modern Department of Mathematics at Penn dates from 1899 when mathematics at Penn became fully distinguished from cognate disciplines. Like other departments in the Graduate School, Mathematics admitted women and people of color from its inception. Roxana Hayward Vivian was the first woman to earn the Ph.D., taking her degree in 1901 and later becoming Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Wellesley College. In the years before 1927 four women earned the Ph.D. in Mathematics at Penn. In 1896 Lewis Baxter Moore was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. at Penn, taking his degree in Classics. Other talented African Americans had preceded him in earning degrees in the College and in Penn's several professional schools. Their contributions to University history were celebrated in A Century of Black Presence, an exhibition opened in 1980 and still on display in the lobby of the DuBois College House. Penn's first African American Ph.D.s in mathematics, however, did not enjoy public recognition until this exhibition was organized in 1998.

Extractions: A Modern History of Blacks in Mathematics On this web page we consider a contemporary history of Blacks in Mathematics , not Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians? (for that click the question). Here you can learn about (and even before ) the first African Americans in the Mathematical Sciences , (for the First African American Women click) The First Africans , and Other Important Events in the past 300 years . For earlier periods in history see the web pages of Mathematics in Ancient Africa . For a history of African Americans in science read Kenneth Manning's article Can History Predict the Future? Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806) is often recognized as the first African American mathematician; however, ex-slave Thomas Fuller 's (1710-1790) and the Nigerian Muhammad ibn Muhammad 's (16-1741) activities predate Benjamin Banneker. None of these men had formal degrees. Charles Reason (1814-1893) was probably the first African American to receive a faculty position in mathematics at a predominantly white institution - Central College in Cortland County, New York. Yale University becomes the first United States of America institution to award a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Female Africanamerican mathematicians Bibliography I have a student who hasidentified some of the first female African american mathematicians.

Extractions: Query From Kriste Lindenmeyer 22 Jan 1998 Dear H-Women subscribers: I have a student who has identified some of the first female African American mathematicians. But she has found few sources. She has used some of the most obvious encyclopedias (for example the 100 Black Women in American History).I thought that H-Women subscribers might be able to help her find more detail about these women. Keyona has included a brief biography of each woman at least what she has found so far) in the paragraphs below. Any further advice about researching this topic would be very much appreciated. From TTU::KNS7090 "Key Stewart" Tenn. Tech. U.20-JAN-1998 I would like to work on the level of how these women made/or did not make a difference for African American women,and the impact they had on the math profession. ***Evelyn Boyd Granville**- born on May 1,1924 in Washington, D.C.; She was encouraged by Ulysses Basset and Mary Cromwell, who were at sometime her math teachers.She graduated summa cum laude from Smith College in 1945 and elected to Phi Beta Kappa; Obtained her Ph.D from Yale Univ.; Spent a year at New York Institute as a research assistant then a part time instructor at NY; Later appointed to a associate professor at Fisk Univ.; Two former students-Vivienne Malone Meyers and Etta Zuber Falconer received their Ph.D's as well.; Dr. Granville worked at IBM involving herself in several of their projects, later becomes a research specialist (1956-1960). In 1963, she returned to IBM as a mathematician,four years went by and she took a teaching job at California State Univ, got married, retired at Cal State and then moved to Texas taking a job at Texas College (Tyler,Texas).In 1989, Dr. Granville earned an honorary doctorate from Smith College.

Extractions: Dr.Raymond L. Johnson Department of Mathematics University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-0001 rlj@math.umd.edu December, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 1496-1500 Forty-one mathematicians interested in the development of mathematics among African Americans and other minorities gathered at MSRI in Berkeley on June 21-23, 1995 for a mathematics conference. They were joined by thirty-eight undergraduate and graduate students, whose perspective was sought on critical issues facing the profession. The Conference was funded by MSRI, and the Department of Energy. Since interest in mathematics was the common bond for participants, the bulk of the conference was devoted to talks in a variety of areas such as Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems, Mathematical Biology, Astrophysics and Numerical Analysis. However, discussions on how to overcome the barriers to participation in mathematics by minorities played a central and vigorous role. One can ask the same questions about this conference that Lenore Blum asked in her description of the Women in Algebraic Geometry Workshop, (Notices, 40, #7, September 1993, 860-861) and give the same answers plus one. I paraphrase Lenore's question, "Clearly such a workshop would be a stimulating and worthwhile experience for any budding research mathematician; and so the question arises, why have a special program for (African Americans)? Is it because (African Americans) have to learn mathematics in a special way? To the contrary, it is to create an environment where (African Americans) have a chance to do and learn mathematics in a way that most successful (white) male mathematicians take for granted."
