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/.
