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.
Governance
The Australian Mathematical Society is governed by its Council and managed by its office bearers. We operate under the AustMS constitution and our Code of Conduct which articulates standards of good conduct expected of our members.
The Society has two Divisions
- ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics), and
- ANZAMP (Australian and New Zealand Association of Mathematical Physics),
a student association AAMS (Association of Australian Mathematics Students), and several Special Interest Groups.
