The Summer School

In early 2008, Monash University hosted the sixth annual ICE-EM/AMSI Summer School.

The Summer School was designed for honours and postgraduate students in the mathematical and statistical sciences. The program consisted of courses in both pure and applied mathematics and in statistics. The Summer School ran over four weeks from 14 January to 8 February 2008 and was organised by the School of Mathematical Sciences.

Background

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) is a national consortium established through a grant from the Victorian Government and funds from nearly thirty AMSI member institutions. The International Centre of Excellence for Education in Mathematics (ICE-EM) was established by AMSI to strengthen education in mathematics and its contemporary applications.

In 2002 the Federal Government announced funding which enabled AMSI to run a program of summer courses for honours and postgraduate students in the mathematical sciences. Previous summer schools have been held in 2003 at the University of Melbourne, 2004 at the University of New South Wales, 2005 at the Australian National University, 2006 at the RMIT University and 2007 at the University of Sydney.

ICE-EM is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Education, Science and Training.
