The fourth edition of the Algebraic Days of Gabon will take place in École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Libreville, Gabon, from March 4 to 16, 2024.
This mathematical event follows on the third edition of the Algebraic Days of Gabon (2022).
The Algebraic Days of Gabon aim to promote a research activity in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry and Applications in Africa involving young researchers, mainly master and PhD students. In Subsaharan Africa, teaching on Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory is at the basic step, and so research is in its early days. But the will and the human potential are there. Since 2021, we stabilize a group of young researchers (from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Gabon, Ghana and Senegal) in order to implement a research team in number theory and arithmetic geometry in central Africa hosted at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Libreville in Gabon. Indeed, a good mathematical education in Africa requires competitive research teams in African universities and institutes. More details concerning previous activities and this group of young researchers can be found on the webpages of the coordinators.
The fourth edition of the Algebraic Days of Gabon will consist of four main activities:
- Two sessions of Young Researchers Lectures (YRL) given by master and PhD students
- A Research School in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry for master and PhD students
- Outreach activities about the gender gap in Science in the framework of the International Women’s Day 2024.
- Activities for Popularizing Mathematics in the framework of the International Day of Mathematics IDM 2024.
