> In Mathematics, more than any other field of study, have we heard proclamations and statements similar to, "[[http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/myths_lies.html | The Negro is incapable of succeeding]]." [[http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/Ancient-Africa/index.html | Ancient]] and [[http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/madgreatest.html | present achievements]] contradict such statements. One of the [[http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/madAIMS.html | purposes]] of this website is to exhibit the inaccuracy of those proclamations by exhibiting the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences.
