Extractions: Equatorial Africa has been inhabited since at least the middle Stone Age. Late Stone Age cultures flourished in the southern savanna after ca. 10,000 B.C. and remained viable until the arrival of Bantu-speaking peoples during the first millennium B.C. Evidence suggests that these Stone Age populations lived in small groups, relying for subsistence on hunting and gathering. Some of these groups may have remained long enough in one vicinity to be considered permanent residents, but others moved, following game along the extensive river network and through the rainforest. The development of food-producing communities in Equatorial Africa is associated with the expansion of Bantu speaking peoples. In a long series of migrations beginning ca. 1,000 B.C. and lasting well into the mid-first millennium A.D., Bantu speakers dispersed from a point west of the Ubangi-congo River swamp across the forests and savannas of modern DRC. A northern group moved northeastward around the swamp and across the northern regions of DRC and settled in the forest zone. Meanwhile, other groups moved south and southwest, the former then migrating up the congo as well as into the inner part of the congo basin, while the southwestern Bantu speakers spread into modern Gabon, Congo, and lower DRC.

Eglash's African Fractals My reasoning was that all indigenous architecture tends to they simply looked good to the people who used While visiting the mangbetu society in central africa http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/special/eglash.african.fractals.html
Extractions: by Dr. Ron Eglash http://www.rpi.edu/~eglash/eglash.htm The mathematical operation is called addition modulo 2, which simply gives the remainder after division by two. But in this case, the two "words" produced by the priest, each consisting of four odd or even strokes, become the input for a new round of addition modulo 2. In other words, it's a pseudo random-number generator, the same thing computers do when they produce random numbers. It's also a numerical feedback loop, just as fractals are generated by a geometric feedback loop. "Here is this absolutely astonishing numerical feedback loop, which is indigenous," said Eglash. "So you can see the concepts of fractal geometry resonate throughout many facets of African culture." Lawrence Shirley, chairman of the mathematics department at Towson (Md.) University, lived in Nigeria for 15 years and taught at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria. He said he's impressed with Eglash's observations of fractal geometry in Africa. "When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganized and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn't even discovered yet." Eglash said educators also need to rethink the way in which disciplines like African studies have tended to skip over mathematics and related areas.

Samson Muthwii, from Kenyatta University in Kenya, and William Rosen, from Exeter University in the U.K., have been investigating how the home culture of various Kenyan communities influences how primary school children from those communities understand concepts of measurement. Their research has involved observing in a number of different primary school classrooms as well as interviewing teachers in the schools. Muthwii is also working with Joanna Masingila, currently at Kenyatta University as a Fulbright scholar, in examining upper primary school children's perceptions of their out-of-school science and mathematics practice. They are working with children in an urban school and a rural school, and are collecting data via interviews and logs kept by the children. Besides analyzing the data from this study in its own right, Muthwii and Masingila will be comparing these Kenyan children's perceptions with those of American children of the same age from a similar study carried out by Masingila and Saouma Boujaoude, from American University in Beirut. st International Congress on Ethnomathematics
