About Lere O Shakunle

LERE OYEBISI SHAKUNLE is a journalist, mathematician and writer. His first novel, Return to Heartland (First Century, UK) came out in April 2004. Lere also wrote and directed the play, Tinuke, Beauty Queen of Oyo Empire, which was performed in Berlin in September 2007.

In 1987 Lere studied Mathematics, Physics and Social Science at the University of Goettingen in Germany before developing his new theory of Transfigural Mathematics (TfM). Since then Lere has written more than twenty books, most of them in manuscript form, and has presented papers on Transfigural Mathematics throughout the world, including one at the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Discovery of DNA in Chicago in 1993.

Lere is the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of the Journal of Transfigural Mathematics (JTfM) - an interdisciplinary journal of mathematics, sciences, literature and arts - and is Director/Founder of The Matran School, an International School for Cross-Disciplinary Creativity.

Lere was invited to the first-ever African Brain Gain Conference in Nairobi, Kenya in December 2004 to present papers on how to put Africa on the map, both scientifically and technologically. Before coming to the Federal Republic of Germany, Lere worked as a journalist with the Nigerian Broadcasting Service (reporter, co-producer), the Nigerian Television Service (reporter) The Daily Times (sub-editor, reporter), Student Magazine (Editor-in-Chief, Co-Publisher) and African Spark (Editor). Lere is a member of The New York Academy of Sciences, The American Mathematical Society, The Mathematical Association of America, The Chartered Institute of Journalists (UK-Ireland) and NIDO, Germany.

Lere and his wife Anja, a fellow student at the University of Göttingen, currently live in Berlin with their children.
