Mysteries of the Mathematical Universe | 2015
Mysteries of the Mathematical Universe | 2015 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 18 Views • 5 years ago

Mathematical mysteries have challenged humanity’s most powerful thinkers and inspired passionate, lifelong obsessions in search of answers. From the strangeness of prime numbers and the nature of infinity, to the turbulent flow of fluids and the geometry of hyperspace, mathematics is our most potent tool for revealing immutable truths. The event was a vibrant tour to the boundaries of the mathematical universe, and explore the deep puzzles that have been solved, the masterminds who powered the breakthroughs, and the towering challenges that have shaken the confidence of some of today’s most accomplished mathematicians—even as they enlist new ways to pursue mathematical truths.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Probability and Its Limits - Professor Raymond Flood | 2014
Probability and Its Limits - Professor Raymond Flood | 2014 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 27 Views • 5 years ago

Probability is the examination of uncertain processes, but it's useful for far more than games of chance: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectu....res-and-events/proba

The modern theory of probability is considered to have begun in 1654 with an exchange of letters between Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat, and has developed since then into the discipline which examines uncertain processes. For example, although on tossing a coin you have no idea whether you will obtain heads or tails we know that if you keep doing it then in the long run it is very likely that the proportion of heads will be close to a half. The lecture will discuss this and other examples of random processes e.g. random walks and Brownian motion.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectu....res-and-events/proba

Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.

The future of farming in Africa: Fighting climate change and conflict | DW News 29 May 2021
The future of farming in Africa: Fighting climate change and conflict | DW News 29 May 2021 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 25 Views • 5 years ago

Climate change is increasingly posing a challenge to agriculture development in Africa. The destruction caused by floods and the devastation by droughts across the continent demonstrate the threat posed by the unpredictable weather patterns.
This year, Zimbabwe is expecting its biggest harvest of maize in 20 years, a sign that the country could be ending its cycle of food deficits due to successive droughts and a troubled land reform program undertaken in the early 2000's.
Official data shows the country will harvest about 2.7 million metric tons of the staple grain. This would be almost 200 percent higher than last year.
Maize is a staple crop across much of eastern and southern Africa - and it's not just climate change that's causing problems, the Fall Army Worm is too. It's actually the caterpillar of a moth, native to the US. But it hasn't stayed there - the pest is spreading around the world, ruining harvests, like in southern Africa in 2017. But one project in Ghana is helping farmers to fight back against the hungry caterpillars with a smartphone app.
The Global Hunger Index says the western African country of Cameroon experiences moderate levels of hunger - but here conflict is the main reason for food insecurity. Farming has been greatly disrupted in the country’s Far North region where the army is fighting against a Boko Haram insurgency and the West where English speaking separatists are trying to create a breakaway state.

Was Castro’s Cuban Revolution a Victory for Afrikan People? 1/4: Main Arguments
Was Castro’s Cuban Revolution a Victory for Afrikan People? 1/4: Main Arguments T. Y. Adodo 48 Views • 4 years ago

Was Castro’s Cuban Revolution a Victory for Afrikan People?

The passing of Fidel Castro in Dec 2016 once again centralised the nation of Cuba in the eyes of the world. He was hailed as everything from a Tyrannical Dictator to the Greatest Revolutionary of our era. Among the Black activist community, superlative praise was by far the prevailing voice, with some going as far as to declare him "Afrikan" and therefore a "Revered Ancestor".

Still, since the Cuban Revolution of 1959, debate has raged around it's relevance to the Afrikan People of the world. The conditions of Afro-Cubans and the Cuban Governments relationship to the Afrikan continent are topics that inspire varied and complex points of view, often splitting opinions among the Pan-Afrikan community.

At this the first NOMMO for 2017 and a part of our ALKEBU-LAN @30 series, we invite the community to take part in this critical debate. In the spirit of Afrikan Revolutionary Respect, Love & Unity, we put our ideological perspectives to the test for the education & benefit of our people at large!
