 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).
