Michel Waldschmidt 2016

Between the meeting in Olso in April 2015 and the meeting in Trieste (ICTP) in April 2016, my main activities related with EMS-CDC have been the following ones. I had a number of visits in developing countries (see my web site); some of these visits gave rise to a report.

In my report last year, I mentioned that 164 books collected at the end of ICM 2014 - see my short report on ICM 2014 (EMS Newsletter December 2014) - had been sent to Africa. Among them, 121 were sent to the Institut de Mathematiques et de Sciences Physiques (IMSP), Dangbo. They reached Benin in March 2015. The other ones were sent at the same time to Senegal, and finally they reached Bambey only in March 2016, one year later! I received a letter with acknowledgement of receipt from the Rector of the University of Alioume Diop of Bambey, Pr Lamine Gueye. The list includes 27 books + 41 issues of “Le Monde est Mathematique”.
From April 12 to 16, 2015, in Cabo Verde, I gave a course in the Ecole Mathematique en Afrique : <a href =”http://webusers.imj-prg.fr/%7Epatrick.le-meur/ema-2015.html”Algebraic structures, cryptography, number theory and applications</a>.
