The School of Mathematical Sciences was established in 1989 with the aim of unifying activities in the mathematical sciences across the University. It was renamed the Mathematical Sciences Institute in 2002. Its purpose is to promote and develop research, teaching and consulting in the mathematical sciences (including mathematics, statistics, mathematical physics and mathematical computation). The MSI education functions are organised by the Department of Mathematics while the research functions are organised through the Centre for Mathematics and its Applications.

The Director of the MSI is Professor Peter Bouwknegt and there are Associate Directors of Education (Lilia Ferrario) and of Research (Markus Hegland)

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 Department of Mathematics has the responsibility for organising undergraduate and honours teaching in mathematics in the College of Science.

The MSI arranges regular symposia, seminars and conferences. In addition, the MSI manages a Mathematical Sciences Research Visitor Program which sponsors visiting researchers in all areas of the mathematical sciences and, through the CMA, it supports the National Research Symposia.

The MSI has been uniquely distinguished by its research success. The CMA was established by a competitive grant from the Australian Research Council (ARC) in 1981, which ran from 1982 to 1990. Much of the current research activity within MSI is backed by ARC grants. Among its research staff there are ten Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science and two Fellows of the Royal Society of London.

The MSI is located in the John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Building and the P.A.P. Moran Building on the campus of The Australian National University in Canberra. On this map the John Dedman Building is building 27, map location G3.

The office of the Australian Mathematical Society is housed within the MSI.
