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).
