ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics) is a division of The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS). Members are interested in applied mathematical research, mathematical applications in industry and business, and mathematics education at tertiary level.[4]
The ANZIAM medal is awarded on the basis of research achievements, activities enhancing applied or industrial mathematics, or both, and contributions to ANZIAM.[5]
Since 1992, ANZIAM has organised biennial meetings, initially under the name “Mathematics and Computers in Sport Conferences”, and now under the name "MathSport".[16] Main topics are mathematical models and computer applications in sports, as well as coaching and teaching methods based on informatics.
