A national strategy for mathematical sciences in Australia
The challenges facing mathematics and mathematics education in Australia, and possible solutions.
Most of the great innovations that have changed the way people live over the past two centuries were enabled by mathematics.
Without mathematics, there would be no cars, no planes, no mobile phone networks, no electric lights, and certainly no computers.
Yet there is evidence that Australian mathematics and mathematics education are in serious trouble.
This report from the National Committee for the Mathematical Sciences calls upon all Australian governments to act, and calls for a national strategy for mathematics and mathematics education.
