African men with a doctorate in mathematics 1
The International and African Mathematical Union Commission on the History of Mathematics in Africa produced a Special Issue of their AMUCHMA Newsletter30 in 2005 which listed people born in Africa or citizens of an African country who had been awarded a doctorate in mathematics or mathematics education up to 2005. We give below a version of this list containing only men to which we have made some corrections and added biographical data for those being awarded the degree up to 1981.
The list below contains those whose PhDs were gained between 1923 and 1981. It is ordered chronologically and then alphabetically inside each year.
