Nota Bene: Our New Book on
African Mathematics

Good Greetings USA-Africa Dialogue Family Members:

It is with great pleasure that I send you this E-mail to invite you to place your pre-publication order for our new book, African Mathematics: From Bones to Computers, so that you can save quite a bit. It is the result of more than ten years of researching, deciphering and solving mathematical equations, and writing by Sister Mamokgethi Setati and I.

Since African Mathematics is a holistic subject, there is also something in this book for those in the fields of Archaeology, Anthropology, Education, Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Religion, Computational Linguistics, and Computer Science.

Please see below the details of the book and how you can place your order.

In Peace Always,
Abdul Karim Bangura

About the Book
This is the first comprehensive text on African Mathematics that can be used to address some of the problematic issues in this area....What unifies the chapters in this book can appear rather banal. But many mathematical insights are so obvious, so fundamental, that they are difficult to absorb, appreciate, and express with fresh clarity. Some of the more basic ones are isolated from accounts of investigators who have earned their contemporaries' respect.
Content: Chapter 1: General Introduction; Chapter 2: The Beginning: Mathematics of Bones; Chapter 3: Geometry South of the Sahara; Chapter 4: Numbers; Chapter 5: Beginning of Written Mathematics: Egypt; Chapter 6: Maghrebian Tradition; Chapter 7: Combinatorics and African Applications; Chapter 8: Vector Calculus and African Applications; Chapter 9: The Fourier Transform and African Applications; Chapter 10: Tiling or Tesselation and African Applications; Chapter 11: Bifurcations and African Applications; Chapter 12: Fractals; Chapter 13: Automated Generation of Metadata to Study Africa; Chapter 14: General Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
