Welcome to e-Math for Africa!
The aim of this site is to coordinate the efforts to make an African consortium for e-journals and databases.
Do you think that your country would be interested to take part in this consortium, please contact Anders Wandahl, and give names of persons who might be contacts. We have tried to get at least one mathematician, one librarian and one computer specialist as contacts.
The American Mathematical Society is sponsoring access to MathSciNet in low income countries
At the time of this writing (mid 2011), the AMS is generously sponsoring access to the bibliographic database MathSciNet in the following low income countries:
Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Laos, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe.
AMS Research Journals Archive is Digitized
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) has established a complete digital archive of its mathematical research journals.
Over 34,000 articles are available from over 100 years of high-quality mathematical research in 'Journal of the AMS,'
'Mathematics of Computation,' 'Proceedings of the AMS,'
'Transactions of the AMS,' and 'Bulletin of the AMS.' All back issues, starting with each journal's inaugural issue through 2005, are now freely available in electronic format.
Researchers can browse the contents of each journal to find articles and authors in each volume and issue, and can search across the entire archive by journal or group of journals at:
http://www.ams.org/joursearch/. View the abstract, references (with links to MathSciNet), bibliographic information, Mathematics Subject Classifications for each article, or view a PDF of the full article.
Each journal is unique in its offering of articles, book reviews, and reports. AMS journals have consistently been managed by editors highly prominent in their fields.
The AMS makes the digitized archive of these important research journals freely available to all mathematicians through the generosity of an anonymous donor.”
Access to Zentralblatt MATH for developing countries
Following a suggestion from the EMS president, Ari Laptev, Springer Verlag and FIZ-Karlsruhe have decided to give free access to the bibliographic database Zentralblatt MATH for developing countries. This offer is initially valid for a limited time (2-3 years) and will then be evaluated.
Zentralblatt MATH is one of two major reference databases in mathematics, and is an extremely valuable tool when looking for references to journal articles in specific areas in mathematics. Anyone interested should contact Anders Wandahl - anders@golonka.se - in order to arrange for access.
Statistical Pan African Society (SPAS) Bulletins published!
We are pleased to inform you that the SPAS bulletins are available online on the site:

Statistical Pan African Society (SPAS)
All African statisticians are encouraged to participate in the making of the new Statistical Pan African Society.
Details can be found on the SPAS web site http://www.ufrsat.org/spas/
Mentoring African Research in Mathematics
This project proposes to pilot a mentoring relationship between mathematicians in countries with a strong mathematical infrastructure and their African colleagues, together with their students. Its sharpest focus is on cultivating longer-term mentoring relations between individual mathematicians and students.
Details can be found on the LMS web site http://www.lms.ac.uk/grants/nuffield_scheme.html
