Afrika Matematika

期刊简介：Afrika Matematika is the Journal of the African Mathematical Union. Its publication started in 1978. It provides a platform both for presenting high-level mathematical research done in Africa, and for bringing international mathematical research to Africa. Afrika Matematika is currently undergoing a substantial relaunch, under Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Jacek Banasiak of the University of Pretoria. Its Editorial Board has been restructured and widened to include distinguished mathematicians from various African countries, and from the other continents. Afrika Matematika is open to research articles in all areas of mathematics and its applications, and to authors worldwide. Afrika Matematika also publishes commissioned survey articles on topics of broad current interest in the mathematical community, including more general topics such as history and philosophy of mathematics and mathematical education. Scrutiny and selection of articles is by the accepted standards of peer review, drawing on the competence of specialist referees worldwide. While it is not envisaged that Afrika Matematika will publish special issues entirely devoted to any particular topic or event, submission of quality papers originating from conferences or workshops organized under the auspices of the African Mathematical Union for publication as regular papers in the journal is strongly encouraged. If the number of papers warrants it, they will be published as a duly advertised special half-issue of the journal. Afrika Matematika is indexed and reviewed in SCOPUS, Current Mathematical Publications, Emerging Sources Citation Index, Mathematical Reviews, MathSciNet and ZentralblattMATH. Afrika Matematika adheres to the IMU Recommendations for Best Practice for Journals: http://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/CEIC/bestpractice/bpfinal.pdf **************************************************************************** The designs on the cover are computer drawings, made by Paulus Gerdes, of basket weaving patterns invented by Yombe (19th century Congo) and Tonga (20th century Mozambique) female mat and basket weavers (cf. Paulus Gerdes, African Basketry: A gallery of twill woven patterns, Lulu, 2007)

【译文】Afrika Matematika 是非洲数学联盟的期刊。它于 1978 年出版。它为展示在非洲完成的高水平数学研究以及将国际数学研究带到非洲提供了一个平台。 Afrika Matematika 目前正在比勒陀利亚大学的 Jacek Banasiak 教授担任主编的情况下进行实质性的重新启动。其编辑委员会进行了重组和扩大，包括来自非洲各国和其他大陆的杰出数学家。 Afrika Matematika 对数学及其应用所有领域的研究文章以及世界各地的作者开放。 Afrika Matematika 还发表委托调查文章，主题涉及数学界当前广泛关注的主题，包括数学历史和哲学以及数学教育等更普遍的主题。文章的审查和选择是按照公认的同行评审标准进行的，并借鉴了全球专业审稿人的能力。虽然 Afrika Matematika 不会出版专门针对任何特定主题或事件的特刊，但强烈鼓励提交来自非洲数学联盟主办的会议或研讨会的高质量论文，作为该期刊的常规论文发表。如果论文数量允许，它们将作为该期刊适当宣传的特刊半期出版。 Afrika Matematika 在 SCOPUS、Current Mathematical Publications、Emerging Sources Citation Index、Mathematical Reviews、MathSciNet 和 ZentralblattMATH 中被索引和审查。 Afrika Matematika 遵循 IMU 期刊最佳实践建议：http://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/CEIC/bestpractice/bpfinal.pdf ************************************************************************************ 封面上的设计是由 Paulus Gerdes 制作的计算机绘图，由 Yombe（19 世纪刚果）和 Tonga（20 世纪莫桑比克）发明的篮子编织图案组成。编织者（参见 Paulus Gerdes，《非洲篮子：斜纹编织图案画廊》，Lulu，2007 年）
