Announcements
- One of the NZIMA’s newest programmes aims to bring teachers and lecturers together to create
a vision for senior secondary and undergraduate mathematical science.
A survey is being conducted to gather baseline data on Year 12 & 13 mathematics and statistics
teachers' views about barriers to students taking senior mathematics and statistics in schools.
If you are a Mathematics teacher currently working in a secondary school, you are invited to
participate in our Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Survey.
It should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
- The next NZIMA/NZMRI summer meeting will be held January 2010,
at Hanmer Springs, with the theme of
Groups, Representations and Number Theory
- The sixth issue of our colourful twice-yearly bulletin NZ-IMAges
was distributed in April this year. If you don't receive a copy and would like to,
please let us know! Click here
for electronic copies of this and earlier issues.
- The NZIMA undertakes and supports a wide range of activities in New Zealand that promote
excellence in the mathematical sciences. As part of this, from time to time we call for
suggestions for conferences and high-profile visitors and other valuable research
(or research-related) activities. We are again making such a call, with a deadline
of 26th September 2009: see here
for details, or click the "Support Opportunities" link in the left hand menu bar.
- Awards and honours:
- Vaughan Jones (NZIMA Co-Director) was conferred with a knighthood in Wellington in August 2009.
Vaughan has contributed a huge amount to the mathematical sciences in New Zealand.
- The Optima Corporation, a spin-off company created by Andrew Mason
and NZIMA principal David Ryan and colleagues, has won one of four Technology
Commendations from FRST in recognition of outstanding achievement in designing
and applying cutting-edge technology, principally the SIREN software for
