I am not at all suprised that your article was the first of these presentations to be published. Your energetic spirit and follow-through is an invitation for the rest of us to emulate.Both You and Mwalimu Falola set the bar so high for us to emulate. We are proud of you both and will try as hard as possible to do our best in this regard PRO PATRIA.Let me know what special Malawi item you want me to bring back for you.Emmanuel BabatundeOn Sat, Mar 1, 2014 at 5:51 PM, Toyin Falola <toyinfalola@austin.utexas.edu> wrote:

Subject: Nota Bene
Reply-To: <theai@earthlink.net>Good Greetings my Most Favorite Mwalimu:I pray that you and your family are doing very well. Please share the following information with your USA-Dialogue family members, since some of them are acknowledged in the paper.Nota Bene:I hope that my paper titled "Domesticating Mathematics in the African Mother Tongue," which appears in the most recent edition of the Journal of Pan African Studies (vol. 6, no. 7) that came out today, helps to render obsolete the pernicious myths that (a) advanced mathematics cannot be taught in African languages; and (b) as many others and a leading African scholar erroneously stated during the 2011 CODESRIA General Assembly convened in Rabat, Morocco "African thought is qualitative, not quantitative, in nature."I state in my Special Acknowledgment at the end of paper the following: "This essay was inspired by the works of Cheikh Anta Diop and Mamokgethi Setati, the initiative of Mwalimu Emanuel Babatunde and suggestive evaluations of the USA-Africa Dialogue family members who attended my presentation at the 2014 African Studies Association meeting convened in Baltimore, Maryland."The following are the URLs to the paper:In Peace Always,Karim/.
