Who We Are

The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) is the national society of the mathematics profession in Australia.

Founded in 1956, our mission is the promotion and extension of mathematical knowledge and its applications. We represent all professional mathematicians in Australia, both pure and applied.

The special interests of applied mathematicians are represented by a division of AustMS, ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics). Those of mathematical physicists are represented by the Society’s other division, ANZAMP (Australian and New Zealand Association of Mathematical Physics). The Society cooperates with a number of related organisations.
