MATHEMATICSWelcome to MathematicsThe staff and students of the mathematics department would like to extend a warm welcome to allnew students in 2010. Whether you are doing mathematics and statistics as the major part of yourprogram, or whether you are taking only a few mathematics courses to help you in other fields, wehope your time here will be rewarding and enjoyable.Career Prospects in MathematicsCareer prospects for mathematics graduates are currently very good. Recent figures from GraduateCareers Australia (www.graduatecareers.com.au) showed 87% of young (

They are in charge oftutorial organisation and in particular tutorial allocations. The name of your super tutor is given inthe course profile.The UQ Maths Space: Room 67-140 is an informal meeting place for undergraduate mathematicsand statistics students. It also provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to interactwith mathematics PhD students and staff through social events. Throughout the year there will befrequent drop-in sessions by staff to inform students of career directions including postgraduatestudy, research areas and employment opportunities.Maths Student Society (MSS)The Mathematics Students’ Society exists to foster a sense of community within the MathematicsDepartment; its members are drawn from all levels of the department: undergraduate, postgraduateand staff. Students are urged to join this society and become fully involved in its activities. Suchinvolvement offers not only the sort of personal satisfaction and development inherent in theuniversity concept, but is also important in the adjustment process of settling in at university.Information on the MSS can be found at www.maths.uq.edu.au/mss/.The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS)The Australian Mathematical Society, founded in 1956, is the national society of the mathematicsprofession in Australia. The Society has almost 1000 members. It holds annual conferencesthroughout Australia, and sometimes (as in 2008) in New Zealand, jointly with the New ZealandMathematical Society. The 2010 annual conference will be held at UQ. The B.H. Neumann StudentPrize is awarded annually for the most outstanding contributed paper presented by a studentmember at the Annual Meeting; see http://www.austms.org.au/The+Bernhard+Neumann+Prize. Inrecent years this prize has been $600 together with a certificate.Full-time Honours and graduate students have free membership of the Society for their first year.Members also receive complimentary copies of the Gazette, five issues a year.The Society also has an accreditation system, whereby members can receive accreditation as aGraduate Member, an Accredited Member or a Fellow.The applied mathematics division of the Society, ANZIAM (Australian and New Zealand Industrialand Applied Mathematics), also holds annual meetings, usually in February each year. The T.M.Cherry Prize is awarded for the most outstanding contributed paper presented by a student at theANZIAM meeting.For further information, email Secretary@austms.org.au.Page 21
