Discipline Profiles – ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï I Championing Mathematical Sciences for Australia’s Advancement ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Wed, 30 Sep 2026 04:26:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.17 /wp-content/uploads/2015/11/cropped-½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï_icon-32x32.png Discipline Profiles – ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï I Championing Mathematical Sciences for Australia’s Advancement 32 32 The State of Mathematical Sciences 2024: 8th discipline profile of mathematics and statistics in Australia /?publications=the-state-of-mathematical-sciences-2024-8th-discipline-profile-of-mathematics-and-statistics-in-australia Mon, 07 Oct 2024 05:35:18 +0000 /?post_type=publications&p=15085 This 2024 State of Mathematical Sciences is the eighth edition of ½ñÈճԹϒs periodic discipline profile for mathematics and statistics, providing a detailed snapshot of the condition of the mathematical sciences at all stages of the continuum – from the classroom and higher education through to research and development, workforce utilisation and innovation by commerce and industry. This publication brings together diverse information from many sources, complemented with ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï research and the latest data from the 2022 PISA survey of academic performance in secondary schools. This edition also includes data on university prerequisites and the mathematical workforce.
