The Australian Mathematical Society is the national society of mathematics professions in Australia.

We are professional and industrial mathematical scientists, data scientists, actuaries and financial mathematicians, educators, researchers, and students. We include Fellows of the Academy of Science, Prime-Minister’s Prize winners, even Fields Medallists. We are united by our shared passion for mathematics!
