Abstract

Teaching in a different continent has its own set of challenges. But for Dr. Douglas Farenick, the applause he received at the end of each class took some getting used to. It was one of many pleasant surprises Farenick experienced at a recent teaching assignment in Kigali, Rwanda.

Farenick, Dean of the Faculty of Science, took time off his busy duties at the U of R to teach advanced mathematics at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). It’s one of six such centres of excellence in Africa bringing together graduate students from across the continent as part of the AIMS “Next Einstein Initiative” of which the U of R is a partner.
