Pioneer African 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. Introduction 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.

9. A Black Mathematician Talks About Race In his book Liber Abaci, Fibonacci wrote that he was taught by African mathematicians. Therefore, his African teachers had to be as good as their student Fibonacci. http://www.emeagwali.com/speeches/black-data-processing-association/chicago-chap

A BLACK MATHEMATICIAN TALKS ABOUT RACE Sponsored by Walker Automated Services. Followed with a 45-minute performance by the Muntu Dance Theater of Chicago. June 16, 2001 at the Fairmont Hotel, 200 N. Columbus Dr. (Moulin Rouge Room) by PHILIP EMEAGWALI As Prepared For Delivery Thanks. Thank you very much for the very pleasant introduction. As indicated in your program, the Muntu Dance Theater of Chicago will be performing. I am normally introduced either as a mathematician or a computer scientist. But one surprising and little known fact about me is that I am also a dancer. Three years ago, I studied African dance with the Sankofa Dance Theater of Baltimore. The reason I became interested in African dance is that I found the drumming and music to be both therapeutic and invigorating. Many mathematicians, myself included, believe that music inspires their creativity and helps them solve mathematical problems. Similarly, mathematics can help you become a better musician. In fact, many musicians believe that music and mathematics have a lot in common. In an interview, Bob Dylan said that his "songs are all mathematical songs." Someone once described dancers as poets in motion. I believe that the Muntu dancers are mathematicians in motion.

Female African-American Mathematicians Bibliography 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.

Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Famous Black Mathematicians Times have witnessed many well-known mathematicians who have come up with interesting new discoveries in the field of mathematics. To know about some of the famous Black mathematicians, read on� Mathematics has continued to interest many, since centuries. Several mathematicians and theorists who, through their theorems and corollaries have found solutions to many complex mathematical problems and have shaped the modern-day mathematics. Here is a look at some of the very famous Black mathematicians. Benjamin Banneker: Born on November 9, 1731, Benjamin Banneker was a Black mathematician, astronomer, clockmaker and publisher. During his childhood years, he was trained in reading and doing basic arithmetic, by his grandmother and a Quaker schoolmaster. When he was capable of helping his parents in working at their farm, he stopped taking formal education. When Banneker was 21 years of age, he saw Andrew Ellicott's pocket watch. Seeing his keen interest in the watch, Ellicott presented it to Banneker. Banneker started examining the watch and it�s working. He designed huge replicas of the watch by calculating the gear assemblies and made a huge striking clock. This invention of Benjamin Banneker served as an accurate timepiece and he earned recognition as a clockmaker. Banneker contributed to the field of astronomy, by devising calculations to predict solar and lunar eclipses. He is famous for his puzzles in mathematics and trigonometry. His puzzle, 'Trigonometry' demonstrates his expertise in logarithms. People still wonder which logarithmic table he might have used. He was instrumental in devising a method of finding the lengths of the sides of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle, whose diameter is known. His pioneering discoveries that were to bring a positive change to mathematics make evident the genius in him. He died in 1806 but is remembered as one of the famous Black mathematicians.

He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in 1938, Master of Arts in Mathematics in 1939, and his Ph.D. in 1941 (at the age of 22), all from the University of Illinois. He is the seventh African American to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics. He is the first and only African American to be any one of: a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a President of the American Statistical Society, and a Vice President of the America Mathematics Society. Chronology: Dr. Blackwell was appointed a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1941 for a year. At that time, members of the Institute were automatically officially made visting fellows of Princeton University, and thus Blackwell was listed in its bulletin as such. This caused considerable ruckus as there had never been a black student, much less faculty fellow, at the University [most notably it had rejected Paul Robeson soley on race]. The president of Princeton wrote the director of the Institute that the Institute was abusing the University's hospitality by admitting a black.
