Book Description
A giant of francophone writing, Algerian author Yasmina Khadra uses current events as a lens to examine narratives of Africa and the West. 'A skilled storyteller working at the height of his powers' Times Literary Supplement Frankfurt MD Kurt Krausmann is devastated by his wife's suicide. Unable to make sense of what happened, Kurt agrees to join his friend Hans on a humanitarian mission to the Comoros. But, sailing down the Red Sea, their boat is boarded by Somali pirates and the men are taken hostage. The arduous journey to the pirates' desert hideout is only the beginning of Kurt's odyssey. He endures imprisonment and brutality at the hands of captors whose failings are all too human. As the situation deteriorates, it is fellow prisoner, Bruno, a long-time resident in Africa, who shows Kurt another side to the wounded yet defiant continent he loves.

Book Description
This book presents world-wide mathematical research of highest rank from the African diaspora . It offers a forum for mathematical research with some emphasis on the contributions of all African mathematicians and the rich connections between all African universities and those of other continents. This includes the Denjoy integral, equivalent cohomology, semilinear equations, rational approximants, automorphic solutions and characterisations of multivariate exponential families.

Book Description
AFRICAN MATH is the oldest math method on the planet Earth. It has recently been proven that both mankind and the civilizations that cradled her were born in a place we today call AFRICA. Great Black Kingdoms flourished in AFRICA for thousands of years. The architects, engineers, accountants, pharmacists, carpenters, teachers, boat builders, craftsmen, scribes, merchants and citizens of ANCIENT AFRICA practiced a very advanced mental math method using a binary abacus often overlooked as a mere board game. Every country in the continent of AFRICA has archeological artifacts of the worlds first calculator. The use of these ancient devices were thought to be lost for ever. The ancient cultures created by the original inhabitants of ANCIENT AFRICA have been decimated by Racism, Slavery, Colonization, Apartheid, and Segregation. Many of the original inhabitants of ANCIENT AFRICA were forced to abandoned their ancient practices by invaders. AFRICAN MATH was a casualty of this cultural assassination. ANCIENT AFRICAN potential lay dormant and denied because her children were forbidden to learn how to read, write or calculate. Recently a the descendants of these ANCIENT AFRICAN people have rediscovered their ancestors mental math method and have committed to reintroduce it to the world as confirmation that Blacks People are not only the Mothers and Fathers of mankind, but they are also the first PARENTS of ANCIENT CIVILIZATION."

Book Description
This is the first comprehensive text on African Mathematics that can be used to address some of the problematic issues in this area. These issues include attitudes, curriculum development, educational change, academic achievement, standardized and other tests, performance factors, student characteristics, cross-cultural differences and studies, literacy, native speakers, social class and differences, equal education, teaching methods, knowledge level, educational guidelines and policies, transitional schools, comparative education, other subjects such as physics and social studies, surveys, talent, educational research, teacher education and qualifications, academic standards, teacher effectiveness, lesson plans and modules, teacher characteristics, instructional materials, program effectiveness, program evaluation, African culture, African history, Black studies, class activities, educational games, number systems, cognitive ability, foreign influence, and fundamental concepts. What unifies the chapters in this book can appear rather banal, but many mathematical insights are so obvious and so fundamental that they are difficult to absorb, appreciate, and express with fresh clarity. Some of the more basic insights are isolated by accounts of investigators who have earned their contemporaries' respect. Winner of the 2012 Cecil B. Currey Book Award.

Book Description
This book draws on geometric ideas from cultural activities from Sub-Saharan Africa and demonstrates how they may be explored to develop mathematical reasoning from school level through to university standard. Paulus Gerdes provides a thoroughly illustrated and researched exploration of mathematical ideas, motifs and patterns. Many important mathematical points are brought to the fore, not via the formal ``theorem-proof'' method, but in a more schematic and diagrammatic manner. African artifacts, oral traditions, sand drawing and other forms of artwork with a geometric basis, all provide mathematical ideas for discussion in this unique book. Mathematicians and teachers of mathematics at all levels will be fascinated, as will anybody with an interest in African cultures.

Book Description
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). (383 pp.)

Book Description
AFRICAN MATH is arguably the oldest math method on the planet Earth. Archaeologists have recently proven that mankind and the first civilizations were born in AFRICA and great Black Kingdoms flourished in AFRICA for thousands of years. The architects, engineers, accountants, pharmacists, carpenters, teachers, boat builders, craftsmen, scribes, merchants, and citizens of ANCIENT AFRICA practiced an advanced mental math method using a binary abacus. Unfortunately, the purpose of this ancient device, called an AFRICAN ABACUS, has been lost and forgotten. In fact, numerous countries in the continent of AFRICA have archeological artifacts of the device which have been overlooked as a mere board game. Many are unaware that it is believed to be the world's first calculator. Due to Racism, Slavery, Colonization, Apartheid, and Segregation the culture of the original inhabitants of ANCIENT AFRICA has been decimated. Foreign invaders caused native people to abandon their ancient practices. AFRICAN MATH was a casualty of this cultural assassination. Its potential lay dormant and denied because AFRICAN children were forbidden to learn how to read, write, or calculate. Recently, a group of ANCIENT AFRICAN descendants rediscovered their ancestors mental math method and have committed to reintroducing it to the world as confirmation that Black People are not only the Mothers and Fathers of mankind, but they are also the first PARENTS of ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.
