The Mathematics and Statistics in Industry Study Group (MISG), opened by the AMSI Director Prof. Geoff Prince, ran from 6-11 February 2011.

Following MISG2011, an article by Elizabeth Tarica was published in The Age.

About 80 mathematicians gathered last week at RMIT University's school of mathematical and geospatial sciences for the annual workshop, tackling a fresh range of problems posed by industries in Australian and New Zealand.

The week-long think tank attracts leading mathematicians from universities and the private sector, along with delegates from Britain, Greece and Malaysia.

MISG2011 was attended by 80 mathematicians and statisticians from Australia and overseas, as well as New Zealand Steel, Transpower and the Environmental Protection Authority.

More news about the event is also available on RMIT News, and photos have been uploaded to Flickr.
