About This Event
Do a Google search about who were the world's first mathematicians and Thales 624–c. 546 BC and Pythagoras 300 BC are credited. ... hmmm
How can this be when the Egyptian Rhind Papyrus 1650 BC demonstrates; 87 mathematical problems including:
-Fractions
-Algebra
-Trigonometry
.hmmmmm
Which date is earlier? ... quick maths... I'll wait.
So how can the fathers of Maths be Thales and Pythagoras?
Today ATCP is running a lecture of African Contributions to Mathematics...
You will learn:
- The earliest evidence of human mathematics
- African Mathematical systems from Yuroba and Ethiopia
- Maths in West and Central Africa
- The Connection between African rites of passage - maths and the computer language Binary code.
All this is with full evidence.
Once again if African/ Black contributions are removed from history, are we surprised that African life is seen as having no value today?

Challenge your education
Grow your mind
Invest this new education in your children to break the cycle.
