CMA logo Centre for Mathematics and its Applications (CMA)

The Centre for Mathematics and its Applications (CMA) has the primary function of a research institute in the mathematical sciences, fulfilling both national and international roles in that capacity. The CMA is Australia's representative in the International Mathematical Science Institutes (IMSI), the international consortium which includes all the world's major mathematical science research institutes. The CMA also cooperates with the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI).

The CMA publishes a series of research monographs and has extensive series of mathematical and statistical research reports.

Members of the CMA have made significant research advancements in the mathematical sciences.

The Head of the CMA is Professor Alan Welsh.

National Research Symposia

In its national role, the CMA organizes and sponsors a series of National Research Symposia in the Mathematical Sciences involving Australian and overseas researchers in mathematics, statistics and applications. The symposia provide a focal point for Australian researchers in an area of current interest in the mathematical and statistical sciences. They are often held in conjunction with the visit to Australia of leading international experts. Proceedings are often published.

Visitor program

Each research program has a large number of visitors and extensive international contacts. These are of a substantial nature as here there is a wealth of powerful international collaborations. A large number of leading mathematicians and statisticians visit us from overseas as well as from within Australia. Our members regularly visit their colleagues overseas, and are invited to participate in international conferences. Indeed, the CMA has an exceptional profile for its size.

Postgraduate Study

Members of CMA are actively involved in the supervision of postgraduate students. Visit the MSI's graduate studies page for further information.
