Female African-American Mathematicians Bibliography
Query From Kriste Lindenmeyer 22 Jan 1998 Dear H-Women subscribers: I have a student who has identified some of the first female African American mathematicians. But she has found few sources. She has used some of the most obvious encyclopedias (for example the 100 Black Women in American History).I thought that H-Women subscribers might be able to help her find more detail about these women. Keyona has included a brief biography of each woman at least what she has found so far) in the paragraphs below. Any further advice about researching this topic would be very much appreciated. From TTU::KNS7090 "Key Stewart" Tenn. Tech. U.20-JAN-1998 I would like to work on the level of how these women made/or did not make a difference for African American women,and the impact they had on the math profession. ***Evelyn Boyd Granville**- born on May 1,1924 in Washington, D.C.; She was encouraged by Ulysses Basset and Mary Cromwell, who were at sometime her math teachers.She graduated summa cum laude from Smith College in 1945 and elected to Phi Beta Kappa; Obtained her Ph.D from Yale Univ.; Spent a year at New York Institute as a research assistant then a part time instructor at NY; Later appointed to a associate professor at Fisk Univ.; Two former students-Vivienne Malone Meyers and Etta Zuber Falconer received their Ph.D's as well.; Dr. Granville worked at IBM involving herself in several of their projects, later becomes a research specialist (1956-1960). In 1963, she returned to IBM as a mathematician,four years went by and she took a teaching job at California State Univ, got married, retired at Cal State and then moved to Texas taking a job at Texas College (Tyler,Texas).In 1989, Dr. Granville earned an honorary doctorate from Smith College.

Council Diary October 2000
The first meeting of the academic year had a full agenda to be covered in a limited time, because of the Society meeting directly following Council. Many items were deferred until the November meeting. One thing we did consider was a plan for the next Council Retreat, to be held in the spring of 2001. This has become a biennial feature of the Society's calendar, giving two days to discuss major policy issues for which there is not enough time at regular meetings. On the political front, the Council for Mathematical Sciences (representing the learned societies in mathematical sciences) and the Joint Mathematical Council have for some time been trying to set up an advisory committee on mathematics education. Progress has been painfully slow. Some encouragement was received last year but now the DfEE is showing a lack of enthusiasm for the idea. The initiatives of the QAA have been the source of many hours of Council discussion. At this meeting we noted with anxiety the move to ‘harmonize’ the nomenclature of degree courses, in the form of a National Qualifications Framework which, if adopted unchanged, would mean that 4-year undergraduate mathematics degrees could no longer be designated MMath or MSci. The LMS played a major part in the introduction of 4-year degrees through the Neumann report, and has responded, drawing attention to major flaws in the Framework. The Society's year ends on 31 August, and we received the draft of the Annual Report of the Trustees, to be presented at the Annual General Meeting in November. (This will then be archived in the LMS website’ section). Although somewhat dry, the Annual Reports are well worth reading, and give a good summary description of the breadth of the Society's activities. They also contain details of all aspects of the Society's finances, and we noted that the amount spent on support of conferences, research and other mathematical activity (through grants administered by Council and its committees) has increased from £232k to £345k this year.

68. Euclid's Elements, Leonardo Fibonacci, Chemistry, Black African Mathematicians,
The african mathematician, Euclid, influenced my work more than any otherperson. The african mathematician Fibonnaci also influenced my work.
http://emeagwali.com/interviews/Guardian/5.html
Euclid is regarded as the world's greatest mathematician and his book, The Elements , is the second most reprinted book in history. It is second only to the Bible.
Philip Emeagwali

interviewed by Reuben Abati for The Nigerian Guardian What are the major influences on your work?
The African mathematician, Euclid, influenced my work more than any other person.
I use various geometrical figures such as this compound of the small hexagonal hexecontahedron and its dual small snub icosicosidodecahedron to design algorithms and computers such as the hyperball. I used Euclidean geometry to formulate my theory of tessellated models for parallel computing and to introduce the concepts of parallel data spaces. My theory of tessellated models demonstrated that sphere packing and fast calculations needed to recover and discover more oil are related subjects.
Philip Emeagwali discovered that sphere packing and fast computing are related fields.
The African mathematician Fibonnaci also influenced my work. I used his discovery of the breeding patterns, called the Fibonacci series, to design the Emeagwali-Fibonnaci hypertree computer networks. I used ideas from the field of chemistry to design algorithms, software and computers that are enantiomeric - that is, have left- and right-handed versions like shoes.

    about the WG

    English summary The Dutch Mathematical Society, the Wiskundig Genootschap , has the distinction of being the oldest of all present-day national mathematical societies. Founded in 1778, it still carries its 18th century motto, Untiring labor overcomes all . In all other respects, the Society has adapted to the 21st century. It now serves as the professional organization of all Dutch-speaking individuals whose activities are somehow related to mathematics. The Society organizes a variety of conferences and symposia focused at different groups of mathematicians. The Dutch Mathematical Congress is an annual two-day conference that attracts a large part of the Dutch mathematical community. Once every three years, the Brouwer Medal is awarded during the congress to a prominent mathematician. The Winter Symposium is aimed at high school teachers. The Section for Industrial and Applied Mathematics organizes the Fall Symposium and the Study Group with Industry. The Society publishes the Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde, a quarterly for all of its members with a famous problem section, and Pythagoras, a magazine for high school students. This website provides information on the history and the current activities of the Society, and maintains a calendar for the mathematical events taking place in the Netherlands. The WG has reciprocity agreements with the American, Australian, Belgian, French, German, Indian, London and South-African mathematical societies, with the Netherlands Society for Mathematics Teachers, and with the Netherlands Society for Statistics and Operations Research.

Barrow, PLUS Magazine Gerdes presents us a rare mathematical gift. Through him we learn of the diversity, richness and pleasure of mathematical ideas found in sub-Saharan Africa. From a careful reading and working through this delightful book, one will find a fresh approach to mathematical inquiry as well as encounter a subtle challenge to Eurocentric discourses concerning the when, where, who and why of mathematics. Arthur Powell, Rutgers University Geometry from Africa...is a masterpiece. Not only are the illustrations within the Gerdes book plentiful, they have been well chosen so as to draw the reader into the mathematics of the artifacts and geometric figures.

    Tenth Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences to Be Held June 22-25, 2004, in Berkeley
    The annual Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS) will celebrate its 10 th anniversary in Berkeley, California, the city where the conference was first held in 1995. The CAARMS10 conference will spotlight the accomplishments of mathematicians from underrepresented minority backgrounds, and is open to all. This year's conference is being co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). The three-day conference will feature technical speakers, tutorials, and a graduate student poster session. More information about conference logistics and a link to the registration page can be found at: http://www.msri.org/calendar/workshops/WorkshopInfo/258/show_workshop "CAARMS provides a unique opportunity for African-Americans who do mathematical research to share their work, address issues of importance and to extend support for up-and-coming graduate students in the discipline," said Prof. William A. Massey of Princeton University, who helped found the conference in 1995. The co-organizers of this year's conference along with Massey are Robert Megginson of MSRI and the University of Michigan as well as Juan Meza of LBNL. About CAARMS In the early 1990's, Massey (then a researcher at Bell Laboratories) had an idea for an organization devoted mainly to addressing critical issues involving African-American researchers and graduate students in the mathematical sciences. It was envisioned that this organization would highlight current research by African-American researchers and graduate students in mathematics. It would also strengthen the mathematical sciences by increasing the participation of African-Americans and members of other underrepresented groups, by facilitating working relations among them and providing assistance in cultivating their careers.

    TITLE: African Americans in Mathematics II
    EDITORS: Nathaniel Dean, Cassandra M. McZeal and Pamela J. Williams
    PREFACE
    The fundamental purpose of the Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS) is to encourage, nurture, and promote existing and potential African-American researchers in the area. Researchers, primarily but not exclusively African-American, give one hour invited addresses about their work, and graduate students give poster presentations on current research. The talks and presentations bring a broader perspective to the critical issues involving minority participation in mathematics. During the conference, attendees also network and communicate, enhancing the growth of individual researchers as well as the general growth of mathematics among African-Americans. Computer science and mathematics shared the spotlight at the Fourth Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences held at the Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC), Rice University, Houston, Texas, June 16-19, 1998. Mathematical sciences is the natural evolution of computer science and mathematics. Today, technological advances are leading the way to new mathematical frontiers - no wonder with sponsors like Bell Laboratories, the research division of Lucent Technologies. In fact, the conference organizers included William A. Massey of Bell Laboratories and Richard A. Tapia, Pamela J. Williams, Nathaniel Dean, Cassandra M. McZeal and Donald C. Williams, all of Rice University.
