Michel Jambu, Professeur Emérite Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné UMR 7351 CNRS, Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis (France) gave a course in Topology from 12 November 2014 - 15 January 2015 at the Master Program at RUPP, Cambodia. His report can be found here.

CDC donated USD 11,000 to support the purchase of 25 computers for a computer lab in the mathematics department of RUPP.

Brigitte Lucquin (France) held a course on Approximation of PDE 1 from March 23 - April 10, 2015.

Her report can be found here.

Michel Waldschmidt taught a 45 hours course to the students of year 1 of the Master of Science in Mathematics of the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) from April 20 to May 8, 2015. His report can be found here.

This activity was supported by a grant from the Niels Henrik Abel Board (Norway).

Mark Gockenbach (Michigan Technological University, USA), gave a course on “Ordinary Differential Equations” in June/ July 2015. 

His report can be found here.

Professor Christopher Thron visited the National School of Agro-Industrial Sciences (ENSAI) and taught a course in "Numerical Methods" from March 5 to April 20, 2015. His report can be found here.

Professor Christopher Thron from the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University volunteered as a lecuterer from June 18th to July 14th, 2015 at the University of N,Djamena FSEA. He gave a course on Numerical Analysis to 30 Bachelor students. The students listened to videos that showed how to implement various numerical algorithms in Scilab. They also wrote programs for implementing Diffie-Hellmand key exchange-- finding primitive roots, raising numbers to large powers mod p, etc. For the final exam, the medical college allowed them to use one of their classrooms.
