Higher-level skills in all branches of mathematics and
statistics are essential for Australia to remain a force in technological
innovation. However, few if any Australian universities can deliver
advanced education in all necessary branches of mathematics.
The nGAME (national Grid for Advanced Mathematics Education) project
proposed to establish a new framework to enable universities throughout
Australia to pool expertise in mathematics education, thus providing a
comprehensive teaching capacity for talented students with a career
interest in mathematics. The project will target third and final (honours)
years of bachelor's degree programmes.
