Motivation: The conference “African Women in Mathematics: Challenging Questions” is designed to explore challenging questions in mathematics, encourage collaborative problem-solving, and provide a platform for discussions on the future of African women in mathematics. The inclusion of workshops, presentations, and panel discussions aims to engage participants actively in addressing mathematical challenges and fostering a supportive community. We are planning also to host a General Assembly of the African Women in Mathematics Association (AWMA). |
1.Objectives
bring together African mathematicians to work together, share their motivation, and discover women from different countries to different career levels, who can be considered as role models.
launch new research projects and collaborations between mathematicians from different African countries.
Create new contacts and mentoring networks for young women embarking on mathematical research.
Teach new programming skills to African women mathematicians.
And finally, contribute to the SageMath software and train new users and contributors.
