What is EMAC?
Background
Mathematics provides the methodology and the framework of rigorous thought for technological developments. It is both the language for the expression of ideas and the means of communicating results, a necessity for continued innovation and adaption to changing technology. As uncertainty is an essential feature of the engineering environment, probability and statistics are part of the engineering mathematics’ domain of interest alongside other disciplines of applied, industrial and computational mathematics.
AustMS → ANZIAM → EMG → EMAC
Engineering Mathematics & Applications Conferences (EMAC) have been taking place biennially since 1994. Conferences are organised by the Engineering Mathematics Group (EMG), a special interest group of ANZIAM - Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics - a division of the Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS).
Meetings provide an interactive forum for researchers interested in the development and use of mathematical methods in engineering and applied mathematics. The mathematical education of applied mathematicians and engineers is also a major theme.
