WelcomeThe New Zealand Mathematical Society (Inc.) is the representative body of professional mathematicians in New Zealand, and was founded in 1974. Its aims include promotion of research in the mathematical sciences, the development, application and dissemination of mathematical knowledge within New Zealand, and effective cooperation and collaboration between mathematicians and their colleagues in New Zealand and in other countries. Notices and newsMathematical Olympiad Success for New Zealand TeamCongratulations to the New Zealand International Mathematical Olympiad team. The 51st IMO was held last month (July) in Astana, Kazakhstan and, for the first time ever, all six student team members won a medal, placing the team in the top 30% of 97 countries participating. Silver medals were won by Malcolm Granville and Tom Yan, and bronze medals by Stephen Mackereth, Edward Wang, Robert Zhang, and Sicong Zhang. The team was lead by Dr Chris Tuffley (Massey University, Palmerston North) and Ilya Chevyrev (Honours student, University of Auckland).
2010 Forder Lecturer Prof. Ben GreenThe 2010 Forder Lecturer is Prof. Ben Green from the University of Cambridge. He will visit New Zealand in September and his travel schedule is as follows.
The NZMS Mathematics ColloquiumThe NZMS Mathematics Colloquium 2010 will be held at Otago from 7th to 9th December. Details
Workshop on Computational Homology and DynamicsThe Workshop on Computational Homology and Dynamics will be held at Canterbury from 13th to 15th August 2010. Details
Announcement of 2009 NZMS Research AwardCongratulations to André Nies of the University of Auckland for his special creativity and highly influential contributions in the area of mathematical logic and in particular its application to questions of computability, complexity, and randomness.
Announcement of 2009 NZMS Early Career AwardCongratulations to Stephen Marsland of Massey University for his outstanding work in many areas of computational and applied mathematics, including self-organising networks, machine learning, image registration, and generalised Euler equations.
Announcement of Aitken Prize for 2009Congratulations to Shannon Ezzat (University of Canterbury) and Michael J Smith (University of Auckland).
Summary of the Society’s activitiesPromotion of researchEach year the Society awards both a Research Award and an Early Career Award to mark and reward outstanding research activity. OrganizationThe Forder Lectureship brings noted mathematicians to speak in New Zealand every two years and is organized jointly by the Society and the London Mathematical Society. The NZMS Visiting Lectureship allows a visiting mathematician to spend two to three days at each of the six main university centres; the Society coordinates and provides some financial assistance for this tour. PublicationsThe Newsletter, published three times a year, is the official organ of the Society, and contains news from around the country, featured opinion articles, featured mathematicians, official notices and minutes, and application forms. The Society also co-publishes the New Zealand Journal of Mathematics. OtherThe Aitken Prize is awarded annually for the best contributed student talk at the NZ Mathematics Colloquium. Information is maintained of mathematical visitors to New Zealand. Financial assistance is made available in the form of grants to support attendance of mathematical conferences in Australasia, postgraduate student travel, mathematics in the South Pacific, and miscellaneous research activities.
