63. Ancient African Science And Mathematics
    This article introduces information on ancient African advancements in the sciences, mathematics, and medicine, such as an early example of counting.  
    http://www.unexplainable.net/artman/publish/article_12588.shtml
    
    Extractions: Printer Friendly Page The earliest known evidence of this comes from a tally stick left behind in the Lebombo Cave. The stick had 29 notches carved out of it. One theory was that it was used to count the days from one full moon to the next full moon, but there is no way of knowing if it was used for that or for counting people or the number of baskets full of food. Overall, it is clear that the ancient Africans used marks as a way of recording their daily tasks. Traveling further north, the people of East Africa also relied on tally sticks. Around 20,000 BC, evidence found at Ishango (at the head of the Nile River) highlights another tally stick. However, the difference is that the markings were positioned in groups. One person could have used the same stick to keep track of a handful of thing. Others believe it could have been used for some sort of mathematics or for some kind of calendar. When taking a look at the times of 7000 BC, the ancient people of Egypt and Sudan used tokens made out of clay as a way to count items. It is believed that this method originated in West Asia, where using tokens were noted earlier with the culture. In 3000 BC, ancient Egyptians started to use hieroglyphs as a way to jot down larger numbers. It didn’t take long for this method of mathematics to evolve into geometry, which would equip the Egyptians with the knowledge needed to construct the Great Pyramids.

I have posted about AIMS before . The bread-and-butter of AIMS is a post-graduate diploma course for African Mathematicians. This broadens the role of the institute to include research. AIMS is set by the sea in a lovely location in Muizenberg, and is the brainchild of Neil Turok , who last year won a TED prize for this and his work on cosmology. TED listens to wishes from its winners - Neil's declared wish is that the next Einstein come from Africa. Stephen Hawking arrived - to much gawking by the media. The honoured guests had a short tour of the facilities at AIMS, after which the press and visitors including British Consulate officials listened to a short presentation by Neil Turok. After photo opportunities and coffee and biscuits, we traipsed over to the Muizenberg Pavilion which had seating for 800 to listen to the presentations.

67. Banneker Biography
    Biography of Benjamin Banneker (BB^Y1806) Born 9 Oct 1731 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA Died 9 Oct 1806 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA  
    http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Banneker.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Benjamin Banneker 's father, Robert, had been a slave who had been given his freedom and was a farmer, while his mother was Mary Banneky. Mary Banneky's mother had been an English girl, Molly Welsh who had been accused of stealing milk and condemned to death for this crime. Her sentence was then reduced to being sent to the British Colony in North America where she eventually became the owner of a farm and married one of her slaves. Their daughter Mary Banneky also married a former slave and he took her surname. Benjamin received some education at the Quaker School although once he was old enough to help on his parent's farm then he had to end his formal education. He was taught to read and write by his grandmother Molly Welsh who also gave him instruction in the Bible. There was, however, little respite for Banneker from the hard physical labour on the farm. When he was 22 years of age Banneker showed his abilities when he made a clock from wood using a pocket watch he had borrowed as a model. The clock struck the hours and continued in good working order for the rest of Banneker's life. Building this clock seems to have brought Banneker some fame in the local community in which he lived and he quickly acquired a reputation for skill in making and solving mathematical puzzles.

    Extractions: PAMO is an annual event organised by the African Mathematical Union (AMU) to encourage youthful talent in Mathematics and to exchange information on curricula and teaching methods in mathematics across the African continent. Africa needs to reclaim its position at the forefront of the world's mathematics stage, particularly because mathematics was born in Africa! A notched calendar stick over 35 000 years old, discovered recently in the Lebombo mountains, is the oldest mathematical artefact known. Written mathematics is first found in Africa, in the papyri of the pyramid-builders of ancient Egypt between four and five thousand years ago! The 15th Pan African Mathematics Olympiads of the African Mathematical Union ( PAMO 2005 ) will take place in Alger, Algeria from 29 July to 4 August 2005. Although the Olympic Games have not yet begun, South Africa is already bringing home Olympic medals from Greece. In the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), which ended in Athens on July 18, the South African team of six high school students won three silver medals and one bronze medal. The IMO forms part of the Hellenic Cultural Olympiad, being held in Greece in conjunction with the Olympic games. [ Read the press release The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual problem-solving competition for teams of six high school students. The Pan African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) has the same format as the IMO, but is for teams of four only, from African countries. The teams to represent South Africa at these two events have been announced. [

Benjamin Banneker Banneker's interest in mathematics began at an early age when he used his knowledge to build a clock that struck hourly. Later in life he took a strong interest in anstronomy, and was able to perform detailed calculations that predicted solar and lunar eclipses. He kept his information in a series of journals that also included additional advanced mathematical calculations. Elbert Frank Cox

    Extractions: A historic first, the South African Mathematical Society (SAMS), the Southern African Mathematical Sciences Association (SAMSA), and the AMS joint meeting held in Pretoria June 25-29 was a big endeavor (over 400 delegates, eighteen sessions, over 300 speakers). The South African hosts were well-organized and hospitable. This conference marking the fortieth anniversary of the South African mathematical society was important for South African and U.S. cooperation and future mathematical interactions. The participants were welcomed by two dignitaries: Vice-Chancellor and Principal Johan van Zyl of the University of Pretoria and Roger Jardine, Director General of the South African Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology. The University of Pretoria is the largest residential university in South Africa and is heavily biased towards the sciences. Niko Sauer, President of the SAMS mentioned that the white men who were the founding fathers of the Society would be surprised at the transformation of the Society; and that, to the somewhat isolated South Africans, the meeting was like a ship coming in to brighten their long winter nightsthey would be sad when the ship sailed away but would hope that another ship would come soon.
