AI for Science is a new stream in AIMS South Africa’s Master’s degree in Mathematical Science, made possible through a partnership with DeepMind. The program lies at the intriguing intersection of science and AI. It is an entirely residential master’s program taught over one year, with a focus on research. Students who are passionate about mathematics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning from across Africa are eligible to apply. We are searching for students who wish to use their unique talents to further scientific research and who look up to the stars and the world around them with wonder.
About the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS)
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is a network of excellence centers across all of Africa that helps bright students become the change-makers that propel the continent’s economic, educational, and scientific independence. The AIMS Structured Master’s Program was launched by the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and will run for three semesters in 2021. A standard core set of problem-solving skills is developed throughout the AIMS course’s necessary skills phase. These skills include estimation, computation, approximation, modeling, data analysis, and statistics.
The first network of centers of excellence in mathematical sciences in Africa is called the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). Through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education, we empower Africa’s youth to determine the continent’s destiny by developing the continent’s future generation of leaders. AIMS South Africa is one of the centers of excellence for training, research, and public engagement in Cape Town, South Africa. The following six universities collaborated to create AIMS South Africa in 2003: Cambridge, Cape Town, Oxford, Paris Sud XI, Stellenbosch, and Western Cape.
AIMS is a call to action to:
• Solve global challenges;
• Promote economic self-sufficiency;
• Empower Africa’s youth to shape its future.
