ICOTS is held every four years around the world, and is the most important event in the statistics and data education calendar. For the first time ICOTS is being held in Australia at the beautiful Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in its vibrant South Bank precinct. The rich ICOTS 12 Programme features renowned keynotes, including […]

Join us for this two-day interdisciplinary forum grounded in the science of AI safety as explored in the International AI Safety Report, as we bring together people from across research, government, industry and civil society to shape Australia’s role in AI safety. Location:The University of Sydney
AMSI Winter School is an advanced training program for postgraduate students, early-career researchers, and industry professionals held annually around a central theme selected from emerging national and global research priorities in the mathematical sciences. Each two-week program provides a scaffolded, graduate-accessible introduction to current research developments, delivered by leading national and international experts To enhance […]
We are excited to confirm the announcement that MERGA48 will be hosted by Western Sydney University on their beautiful Paramatta South Campus, chaired by Prof Catherine Attard, from Monday 6 to Friday 10 July 2026 (note change from usual Sunday start). Please enjoy this welcome video showcasing Western Sydney University in the lead up to […]
The Australian Probability Conference 2026 will bring together researchers in probability, stochastic processes, mathematical statistics, and their applications. We particularly encourage participation from HDR students and early career researchers. Location:University of Queensland
#May12 #WomenInMaths #May12WIM Join us for an evening celebrating women in mathematics here at the University of Sydney. All welcome.Featuring talks from: Neda Khodabakhsh JonianiNalini JoshiMadeline NurcombePratibha PanwarAnd a special screening: Je suis Sophie Germain Talk details: ‘Mathematical Modelling of Corneal Epithelial Cells’Neda Khodabakhsh Joniani Abstract: The corneal epithelium is a self-renewing, multilayered tissue maintained by […]
Humans tend to be better at physics than at mathematics. When an apple falls from a tree, there are more people who can catch it — they sense physically how the apple moves — than people who can compute its trajectory from a differential equation. Applying physical ideas to discover and explain mathematical results is therefore natural, even if it has seldom been tried in the history of science. […]
International Day of Mathematics 2026: Mathematics and Hope Saturday March 14 from 12 – 4pmSunday March 15 from 12 – 4 pm To celebrate International Day of Mathematics, SMRI presents our Maths at the Museum program, running at the Chau Chak Wing Museum (CCWM). The official theme of the International Day of Mathematics in 2026 is “Mathematics and Hope”. Across […]
Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, tearing, we shall explore a rich variety of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and ‘h-principle’. Much of the lecture consists of table-top demos. This public lecture is hosted by the Sydney […]
This is meant to be light mathematical entertainment, exploring simple yet unusual phenomena involving rational, irrational, transcendental numbers. We will also glean a few open problems. This event is part of a series of 2 colloquia for International Day of Mathematics (Colloquium 2: Pure mathematics as applied physics). For catering purposes, we would appreciate your registration if you intend to […]
Dijkstra’s algorithm is a classic algorithm for doing route planning. Given a starting location it finds shortest paths from to all other reachable locations using the greedy method. Not only does it find shortest paths, it finds these in increasing order by length. A natural question is whether this algorithm is best possible. The answer […]
