The conference presented current research in a broad range of mathematical areas to stimulate cross disciplinary discussion and highlight future trends. Workshops were held to discuss: the ways that all mathematics researchers can encourage the greater participation of under-represented minorities in their fields, a summer program for minority graduate students, and career development for researchers and professionals in the mathematical sciences.

91. 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.

Rather, it means a different way of involving students in mathematical activities and mathematical thinking. The reform movement in mathematics education is a reaction to the sad fact that much of the traditional mathematics curriculum had little relevance to the lives of students or to other aspects of school life. Mathematics was not connected to anything. Many students were unable to apply the math they learned in school to solve everyday problems.

Article about Conference by Dr. Raymond L. Johnson Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences at MSRI Dr.Raymond L. Johnson Department of Mathematics University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-0001 Office Telephone Number: Fax Number: Electronic Mail Address: rlj@math.umd.edu December, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 1496-1500 Forty-one mathematicians interested in the development of mathematics among African Americans and other minorities gathered at MSRI in Berkeley on June 21-23, 1995 for a mathematics conference. They were joined by thirty-eight undergraduate and graduate students, whose perspective was sought on critical issues facing the profession. The Conference was funded by MSRI, and the Department of Energy. Since interest in mathematics was the common bond for participants, the bulk of the conference was devoted to talks in a variety of areas such as Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems, Mathematical Biology, Astrophysics and Numerical Analysis. However, discussions on how to overcome the barriers to participation in mathematics by minorities played a central and vigorous role. One can ask the same questions about this conference that Lenore Blum asked in her description of the Women in Algebraic Geometry Workshop, (Notices, 40, #7, September 1993, 860-861) and give the same answers plus one. I paraphrase Lenore's question, "Clearly such a workshop would be a stimulating and worthwhile experience for any budding research mathematician; and so the question arises, why have a special program for (African Americans)? Is it because (African Americans) have to learn mathematics in a special way? To the contrary, it is to create an environment where (African Americans) have a chance to do and learn mathematics in a way that most successful (white) male mathematicians take for granted."

Some have long interviews or biographies with mathematicians and others are much shorter. Some have information on careers that have been chosen by mathematicians. Some are on the World Wide Web. I am always eager to find more sources, so let me know if you find a good source that is not on this list. Mathematical people: profiles and interviews editors Donald J. Albers and G.L.
