Geometry and Algebra Applied to Development

30TH NOVEMBER, 2009 – 8TH DECEMBER, 2009

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE

Directors:
Solarin Adewale (Nigeria), Leonard Todjihounde (Benin)
Scientific committee:
Marie-Francoise Roy (France),
Mahamadou Sanghare (Senegal),
Marcel Tonga (Cameroun),
Joel Tossa (Benin),
Julien Cassaigne (France),

Djiby Sow (Senegal)

This workshop is designed to produce new generation of geometers and algebraists, since the current population are retiring, especially in Nigeria. It is part of series of activities of the African Network for Geometry and Algebra Applied to Development (ANGAAD) under the leadership of Professor Marie-Francoise Roy (France), l’ Université de Rennes 1. The workshop will be followed immediately by the AMU-ICMS-NMC -2009.

SPEAKERS AND TOPICS:

1. Marcel Tonga (Cameroun) Galois Theory
2. Leonard Todjihounde (Benin) Geometry of curves and surfaces
3. Marie-Francoise Roy (France) Algorithmic Algebra
4. Julien Cassaigne (France) combinatorics
5. Djiby Sow (Senegal) Elementary Number Theory and Cryptography
6. Cyprien Gnanvo Graph theory

7. Sola Adeniran (Nigeria) Non-associative binary system

Deadline for indicating interest to participate in the workshop is 30th September, 2009.

Limited grant will be available for young mathematicians especially those below 35 years to attend the workshop.

Application for participation should be directed to:

Professor Adewale R. T. Solarin,
