About the AMSI Summer School
Summer School 2010
La Trobe University is host to the eighth annual AMSI Summer School designed for mathematics and statistics Honours and Coursework Masters students. The four week program consists of courses in pure mathematicss and applied mathematics and statistics.
Students enjoy a stimulating atmosphere where opportunities for the interchange of ideas both with one another and with the lecturers exist. The feeling of camaraderie and the opportunity to share mathematical experiences with a larger group of students are key features of the Summer School. Social events such as morning teas and barbecues also contribute to the experience.
Background
The Australian Mathematics Sciences Institute (AMSI) is a national consortium established through a grant from the Victorian Government and funds from thirty-one AMSI member institutions. In 2002 the Federal Government announced funding which enabled AMSI to run a program of summer courses for honours and coursework masters students in the mathematical sciences. Previous summer schools have been held in at the University of Melbourne (2003), University of New South Wales (2004), Australian National University (2005), RMIT University (2006), University of Sydney (2007), Monash University (2008) and most recently at University of Wollongong.
