Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, Visualization and e-Learning
This book features articles written by some of the most prominent leading applied mathematicians as well as young and promising ones. The common objective of these articles is to present an important issue which is currently widely discussed in scientific investigation with major human, economic or ecological implications. Each article is as deep as an expert lecture but is also self-contained, so that even isolated scientists with limited resources can profit greatly from it.
West African Studies West African Perspectives Resources for Development
Presents a cross-cutting analysis of the main development challenges for the West African region and offers suggestions on how to meet them.
African Doctorates in Mathematics
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.)
Small-scale Mining, Rural Subsistence and Poverty in West Africa
Critical assessment of initiatives in the development of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in ECOWAS countries (Economic Community of West African States). Emphasises the need to understand the socioeconomic conditions, environmental and policy issues in order to achieve sustainable development. Gives case studies from selected Anglophone and Francophone countries.
Food Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa
