Following on from the sell-out success of NSQ 2016, ACEMS is once again proud to present the 2017

Workshop on Multi-variable Polynomials and Stochastic Systems

This course is part of the Big Data Analytics program with FutureLearn, which will enable you to gain the big data analytics skills that are in demand today.

As discussed at the ACEMS Retreat last year, a workshop for ACEMS Postdoctoral Researchers and Research Associates in ACEMS will be held at the University of Queensland on 20-22 March 2017.

The aims of the workshop are as follows:

ACEMS & QUT Institute for Future Environments Guest Lecture

We are looking for teachers to attend a training workshop to become 'Doing Maths like a Research Mathematician' (DMLARM) session leaders, with a view to them offering DMLARM sessions in their local area.

The aim of this workshop is to consider how the mathematical science research community should respond to the fact that its engagement and impact activities will be assessed differently by the government. For an enabling discipline such as mathematics, there are obvious challenges in this:  outside of applied mathematics and statistics, direct collaboration with industry is uncommon, and research commercialisation income is very low compared to other STEM disciplines.

To celebrate National Science Week, and to demonstrate just how hard it is to get scientists to believe BS (bad science), The Science Nation is holding a contest of intelligence, interrogation and intimidation that sees a lineup of scientists each trying to have their peers believe complete and utter BS.

As part of The University of Melbourne's National Science Week Science Festival, ACEMS is proud to host a Maths Arcade.

The focus of the workshop will be on current state-of-the-art work in applied dynamical systems and the participants will present on work in progress, rather than on finished work. These presentations can potentially be group presentations and time slots are organized as follows, 30 minutes presentation followed by 30 minutes discussions. For students the same format, but shorter, will be followed: 5 minutes short presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
