SUMMER SCHOOL 2014
The Mathematical Sciences Institute at The Australian National University welcomes masters, honours and postgraduate students from around Australia to the 12th Annual Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Summer School. The School is an exciting opportunity to improve your mathematical skills and meet other students.
The program was packed with additional events – BBQ’s, guest lectures, a Careers Session, the annual dinner and more. Full travel and accommodation scholarships were available.
The annual AMSI Summer School is funded jointly by the Department of Education and the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute.
The summer school courses are designed for students who have completed the equivalent of at least a major in mathematics or statistics. The courses are directed to current 3rd year students going onto 4th year honours in 2014, and current 4th year honours students and PhD students.
