Geometric and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
Mon, August 30, 2010 - Fri, September 3, 2010 International Conference on Geometric and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations 30 Aug.–3 Sept. 2010; Mission Beach Resort, Mission Beach, Queensland This conference will be run similarly to a successful meeting at the same location in 1998 and since then there has been a lot of interest in a sequel. The conference will host many of the leading international researchers in differential geometry and partial differential equations as well as provide the opportunity for young researchers and PhD students to get together to discuss new work in the field. The conference will be run along similar lines to Oberwolfach and Banff workshops, with a mixture of expository talks and focused discussion sessions covering highly topical research areas such as geometric flows and their applications, optimal transportation, complex and conformal geometry, regularity issues in nonlinear PDE, reaction diffusion equations, singular variational problems. International invited participants
*To be confirmed. Scientific Committee

Further details and registration information is available on the conference website. Limited funds are also available to defray accommodation costs for some participants. Those interested in such support should contact the conference organisers directly through alison.irvine@anu.edu.au. |

IISME seminar: Dealing with the crisis in mathematics by starting at the beginning
Thu, September 2, 2010, 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm The Institute for Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education announces a special seminar Dealing with the crisis in mathematics by starting at the beginning
Venue: New Law Annexe Lecture Theatre 104, University of Sydney (main campus)
Parking... is available in the car park underneath the New Law School. Entry is either from City Road (travelling towards the city, turn into the campus behind the Carslaw building) or from the Main Gate in Parramatta Road (take the road behind Fisher Library). Take lifts 3 or 4 from the car park to level 1 of the New Law Annexe. LT104 is very close to the lifts. Please RSVP online by Thursday 26th August, for catering purposes. Abstract for Jacqui Ramagge presentation:Demand for mathematics and statistics graduates in industry has been growing at a time when the number of students choosing to study mathematics and statistics has been decreasing. As a result, fewer students are choosing to teach mathematics and increasingly children are lucky if one teacher in their school-years is sufficiently confident with their mathematical knowledge to inspire passion in the subject. As mathematicians, educators and academics, it is our responsibility to do everything we can to ensure that future generations have the best possible chance of enjoying the beauty of mathematics and the benefits of high levels of mathematical competency. Personally, I contribute to this effort on a number of different fronts. Recently, my work in the mathematical training of prospective primary teachers has received attention. In this talk I will give an overview of the two undergraduate subjects for primary educators that I have developed at the University of Wollongong. I will explain why they are the most challenging subjects I have ever taught and possibly the most challenging subjects the students have ever taken. I will also explain how they help to equip teachers to function as professionals and to inspire children with a love of mathematics. Abstract for Jenni Way/Janette Bobis presentation:In 2011 the Bachelor of Education (Primary) program at the University of Sydney will introduce a new mandatory unit of study designed to increase our students’ mathematical content knowledge while promoting positive attitudes towards the development of their own Numeracy. The new unit will precede three mathematics education units that focus on pedagogical content knowledge (with emphasis on the development of children’s mathematical thinking) and on curriculum knowledge. This presentation will outline the underlying principles for the design of the new unit, with the purpose of stimulating discussion about the merits of such approaches to addressing the call for increased quality of mathematical knowledge in teachers. Views on the potential that the situation holds for conducting valuable research will also be sought from the seminar participants. |

AGR: La Trobe Statistics seminar series
Fri, September 3, 2010, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm Functional brain mapping of epilepsySpeaker: Dr David Abbott (Brain Research Institute, Melbourne) Time & Date: 11.00; Friday 3 September 2010 Venue: Room 310 (Access Grid Room), Physical Sciences 2, La Trobe University, Bundoora Campus. Abstract:
Advances in human neuroimaging technology, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), have made possible the non-invasive acquisition of whole-brain functional images at millimeter spatial resolution and millisecond temporal resolution.
We are using this technology to unravel mysteries in epilepsy.
A challenge is to process the large amount of data in an objective and meaningful way to determine where seizures arise in individual patients.
More fundamentally we wish to determine the spatiotemporal pattern of brain activity that leads to a seizure in various types of epilepsy, as this knowledge may lead to new therapeutic targets.
I will discuss the application of model-based and model-free data analysis methods to this problem.

Sat, September 25, 2010 - Wed, September 29, 2010 Early Career Workshop 201025–26 September, 2010; Rydges Oasis Resort, Caloundra. preceding the 54th Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society. The Early Career Workshop will consist of short research presentations by leading ECRs, advice presentations on various aspects of mathematical careers in academia and industry by more senior mathematicians, and plenty of time for discussion. We expect participants to arrive and check in after lunch on Saturday. The workshop will commence with an early afternoon tea on Saturday and end with lunch on Sunday. Accommodation and meals at the venue will be provided free of charge to all registered participants, and transport to the opening reception on Sunday at UQ will be provided. Speakers
RegistrationRegistration is free for any registered participant in the Society's 2010 Annual Meeting who is either a current PhD student in the mathematical sciences at an Australian university or research organisation, or is in the early stages of a career in the mathematical sciences in Australian academia or industry. "Early stages" means up to approximately 5 years (full-time equivalent) since award of PhD. Numbers for the Workshop are strictly limited…
so those who wish to attend are advised to indicate their interest as soon as possible, by ticking the Early Career Workshop box when registering for the Annual Meeting.
All early career mathematicians are invited to a special lunch on Tuesday (28 September) during the Annual Meeting, which is attended by the plenary speakers. For catering purposes, we ask you to indicate your interest in attending on the registration form under "Social Events". We hope to see you in September!
Those who are successful will receive a confirmation email with more details. Organisers
