The 3rd annual AMSI/ICE-EM Summer School was hosted by the Australian National University, Canberra from 10 January to 4 February 2005. In total 118 students from all over Australia attended.

The organising committee, Markus Hegland, Andrew Hassel, Steve Roberts, Annette Hughes and Charles Wetherell presented an excellent program covering a wide area of mathematics ranging from commutative algebra to bootstrap methods grouped into 8 topical streams.The lectures were presented by 19 lecturers from all over Australia and overseas.

The feedback received from a student questionnaire (and from discussions with students during the school) highlighted the quality of the speakers, the relevance of the topics and the organisation.
