As a B3 NRF-rated(1) academic, Prof Kerstin Jordaan, the South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF) executive director, is one of only three B-rated female mathematicians in the country. The National Research Foundation (NRF) rating system (introduced in 1984) is a critical driver in the NRF's plan to build an internationally competing science system in South Africa. Prof Jordaan is only the fifth female in her field to receive this rating since 1984.
