    Extractions: Need for debt-for-science campaign In many developing countries, African countries in particular, the mathematical research scientists are gradually becoming endangered species for obvious reasons, and unless something is done to arrest the situation, the year 2000 and beyond will witness little or no mathematical research activities in these areas of the world. The WMY 2000 can be instrumental in drawing the attention of the International Community to the various problems and co-operate with the local community towards their alleviation. 1. AMU Mathematical Sciences network for Africa The aims and objectives of the network - which has currently fifteen members - are the following : - To encourage North-South and South-South co-operation in the area of research and training of graduate students for higher degrees of African Universities, and thus alleviate the problem of brain-drain often resulting from long stay of students outside the continent. - To bridge the isolation gap among African mathematicians through development of research groups in member Institutions of the network eventually leading to the production of critical mass of mathematical scientists so badly needed in the continent for developmental purpose.

The Senegalese government has committed around US$1.3 million and donated a plot of land near Mbour on the country's coast for the centre, SciDev.Net was told last week. Two other centres will be set up in Ghana and Ethiopia, according to an announcement by the Canadian government this month (6 July). Canada will provide US$19 million in funding for all three centres, to be channelled through the Ontario-based Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

JEMISON This annotated bibliography is a compilation of books, papers and articles that can provide some insight into the accomplishments of early Africans and African-Americans in science and mathematics. It can be utilized for research purposes or just to expand the general reader's consciousness on the subject matter. It is by no means exhaustive or all inclusive. It merely reflects some of the materials that I have utilized in my own research. Kamau Beyete A. Sadiki 1. Blacks in Science: Ancient and Modern, ed. by Ivan Van Sertima, Transaction Books, New Brunswick, NJ, 1983 A compilation of very thoroughly researched papers that documents Africa's contributions to astronomy, agriculture, architecture, engineering, aeronautics, mathematics, medicine, metallurgy, physics and writing systems. Also included in this text are articles detailing the African-American's contributions to science and invention. Some of the papers that are worth special mention are John Pappademos' "An Outline of Africa's Role in the History of Physics", Dr. Charles Finch's "The African Background of Medical Science", "Steel Making in Ancient Africa" by Debra Shore, "The Pyramids: Ancient Showcase of African Science and Technology" by Beatrice Lumpkin and John Henrik Clarke's "Lewis Latimer: Bringer of the Light".

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar No Great Civilization Can Survive without Compassion This seems at first an odd assertion, that, according to John Kellermeier's investigation , "How Menstruation Created Mathematics", women and their periods inspired and jump-started the development of mathematics by humans. It began with "ethnomathematics", as defined by M. Borba (For the Learning of Mathematics, 10(1), 39-43) and D'Ambrosio (Impact of Science on Society, 40(4) 369-78) (both in 1990), who "define mathematics as the quantitative techniques that humans develop in response to the problems, struggles, and endeavors of human survival." Apparently, the first driving survival issue was reproduction, hence the focus on women. Evidence of lunar calendars (timing of the menses) and objects indicating worship of fertility goddesses, etc. are found in ancient artifacts such as the Ishango Bone , also known as the second oldest mathematical object , possibly containing the oldest table of prime numbers.
