When her servitude ended, Molly purchased a farm along the Patapsco River near Baltimore. and two slaves. In time she set the slaves free and married one of them, a man named Bannaky (changed from Banna Ka). They had several children, one a daughter named Mary. Mary Bannaky grew up, purchased a slave, Robert, whom she later married and lived on the family farm. On Nov. 9, 1731, a son, Benjamin, was born to Robert and Mary Bannaky. Using the Bible, Molly Bannaky taught Mary's children to read, and soon after, Benjamin would read the bible to his mother and grandmother. For those times, life was good to this little community, but work was hard, but not challenging to Benjamin. He learned to play the flute and the violin, and when a Quaker school opened in the valley, Benjamin attended it during the winter where he learned to write and elementary arithmetic. He had an eighth-grade education by time he was 15, at which time he took over the operations for the family farm. He devised an irrigation system of ditches and little dams to control the water from the springs (known around as Bannaky Springs) on the family farm. Their tobacco farm flourished even in times of drought.

The John Knopfmacher Centre for Applicable Analysis and Number Theory NUMBER THEORY DAY 2000 AND PACOM2000 - SPECIAL SESSION IN NUMBER THEORY AND COMBINATORICS On behalf of the organising committee we are pleased to invite you to attend and present talks at these two events, which will be dedicated to John Knopfmacher , a South African number theorist of international renown who died tragically of a heart attack on 29 May 1999, during a stay as a visiting Professor in Austria. A description of his life and career can be found on his home page . The 5th Pan African Congress of Mathematicians PACOM'2000 The John Knopfmacher Centre for Applicable Analysis and Number Theory LIST OF POTENTIAL SPEAKERS Neville Robbins Jean-Paul Allouche Joachim von zur Gathen Daniel Panario Gert Almkvist Doron Lubinsky James Ridley Lutz Lucht Wolfgang Schwarz Pelegri Viader Christian Mauduit Arnold Knopfmacher Helmut Prodinger Peter J. Grabner Frederique Bassino Richard Brak Abdelmalek Azizi Oumar Mbodj Richard Warlimont NUMBER THEORY DAY 2000 - Program and Abstracts PACOM2000 - SPECIAL SESSION ABSTRACTS The latex file containing all speaker's abstracts is available for download from here . GENERAL INFORMATION Cape Town in summer is one of the most beautiful cities of the world with its coastal scenery, Table Mountain and famous beaches. The weakness of the South African currency againt the Euro and Dollar makes the cost of food and accomodation very cheap for overseas participants. The organisers of PACOM2000 have put together an impressive sightseeing program which is described on their web page. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DEADLINES Unfortunately we are unable to pay the cost of airfares for attending speakers, however the Centre for Applicable Analysis and Number Theory may be able to contribute some local cost to speakers at NUMBER THEORY DAY 2000. For organisational and subsidy purposes we would appreciate it if you could let us know before August 10 1999 if you are potentially interested to attend these events.

First, see Prof. Scott Williams' series of pages, "Mathematicians of the African Diaspora," created to exhibit the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences: http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/mad0.html Next, see "The Faces of Science: African Americans in the Sciences": http://www.princeton.edu/~mcbrown/display/faces.html Here are some of the better known names, with just a little information about each and sites where you will find more: - Benjamin Banneker "The First Negro Man of Science." Major Andrew Ellicott, asked Banneker to help him survey the "Federal Territory". Banneker and Ellicott worked closely with Pierre L'Enfant who was the architect in charge of planning Washington D.C. L'Enfant was suddenly dismissed from the project, due to his temper. When he left, he took the plans with him. Banneker recreated the plans from memory, saving the U.S. government the effort and expense of having someone else design the capital. http://tqd.advanced.org/3337/banneker.html

His lesson plan: high standards, hand-on help, and some killer chess. by Chuck Salter photographs by Kate Swan from FC issue 57, page 34 Read more stories from this April 2002 issue Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County ( UMBC ), has a simple way to explain his goals. "When most people see young black men walking across a campus," he says, "they think, There goes the basketball team. We want them to think, There goes the chemistry honors society." It's more than a sentiment. As president of a relatively small ( 11,000 students ) and young ( founded 36 years ago ) university, Hrabowski is nurturing a new generation of world-class scientists and mathematicians, the majority of whom are African-American. He recruits the top high-school students in the United States to attend UMBC as part of the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program. Launched in 1988, the program is one of the most successful of its kind. Ninety percent of its participants graduate in math, engineering, or the sciences, and 90% of those students attend graduate school. The secret? Hrabowski's exacting standards, his hands-on approach to teaching and mentoring, and an environment where, as he puts it, "it's cool to be smart." Instead of a football team, UMBC fields a chess team that has won five of the past six college championships.

African Female Mathematicians Margaret Alic (1986) in her book, Hypatia's Heritage , discusses women in science. Alic asserts that women were the first botanists. Women are given credit for inventing weaving and spinning. Alic bases her claims on the assumption that "...evidence from the early scientific work of women can be traced..." from "oral traditions." Alic goes on to say that Neolithic women were often thought to be possessed of magical powers, not only because of their ability to give birth, but also because of their skills in the domestic sciences - manufacturing, pottery, agriculture, the domestication of animals and healing. It was these achievements that early cultures personified in their goddesses. (See Women in Egypt Alic relates that in the Kahun medical papyrus, women "...diagnosed pregnancy, guessed at the sex of the unborn child (if the mother's face was green it would be a boy), tested for sterility and treated dysmenorrhoea (irregular menstruation). Women surgeons performed caesarian sections, removed cancerous breasts, and set bones with splints." She attributes the following accomplishments to the women of prehistory, many of whom were undoubtedly African: methods of gathering, preparing and preserving food

The material aims to refute the information found in standard history of mathematics books which devote only a few pages to Ancient Egypt and to northern Africa during the Middle Ages.

In a sample of the material, the reader learns about the finding of the oldest mathematical object known to mankind in what is now called Border Cave in the Lemombo Mountains between South Africa and Swaziland. In the 1970s during the excavations of Border Cave, a small piece of the fibula of a baboon was found marked with 29 clearly defined notches. The bone is dated to be from approximately 35,000 BC and resembles the calendar sticks still in use by Bushmen clans in Namibia.

VOLUME 31, NUMBER 20 THURSDAY, February 20, 2000 Mathematicians find home Williams expands Web site to include other black scientists By ELLEN GOLDBAUM News Services Editor Even in 2000, African Americans who are studying to be-or already are-mathematicians face a lonely proposition: only about one-quarter of 1 percent of mathematicians in the United States are black. But many of them are finding a thriving community at the unique Web site, Mathematicians of the African Diaspora (MAD) http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/mad0.html , created and maintained by Scott Williams, professor of mathematics. Since its debut in 1997, the site has had more than 200,000 hits. Williams developed the site after finding that another Internet site dedicated to African-American scientists had plenty of listings under the life sciences and engineering, but few mathematicians. "They had two," he recalled. Williams wrote to the site creators, pointing out that he personally knew of more than 40 African or African-American mathematicians, but when they simply added his name to the list, he decided to start his own site. The response has been overwhelming. Williams had to obtain a dedicated mailbox just to deal with the messages generated by the site.
