Nonlinear dynamics, chaos and applications in intertropical Africa

The contribution of Africa and specifically that of the intertropical Africa is low. But since some years, it is noticed, some research groups are contributing regularly in the field of nonlinear dynamics and chaos, using both theoretical and experimental methods. This presentation will review the main contributions obtained by those research groups located mainly in the following three countries: Cameroon, Benin and Nigeria. The goal is not only to present scientific results, but also provide information to APS members on the development of physics in intertropical Africa.
