African Doctorates in Mathematics: A Catalogue
This volume presents a catalogue of over 2000 doctoral theses by Africans in
all fields of mathematics, including applied mathematics, mathematics education
and history of mathematics. The introduction contains information about
distribution by country, institutions, period, and by gender, about mathematical
density, and mobility of mathematicians. Several appendices are included (female
doctorate holders, doctorates in mathematics education, doctorates awarded by
African universities to non-Africans, doctoral theses by non-Africans about
mathematics in Africa, activities of African mathematicians at the service of
their communities). Paulus Gerdes compiled the information in his capacity of
Chairman of the African Mathematical Union Commission for the History of
Mathematics in Africa (AMUCHMA). The book contains a preface by Mohamed Hassan,
President of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and Executive Director of the
Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS). Now available (print, or download) from www.lulu.com by searching Paulus Gerdes. More information:
