Submission: Inquiry into research training and research workforce issues in Australian universities

Mathematics and statistics are pervasive disciplines often essential to other research and higher degrees. The fragile nature of mathematical sciences is documented in the 2006 Review of Mathematical Sciences Research in Australia. The Review, and the subsequent evaluation of its lack of impact so far, raise a serious question in regard to research and research training in Australian universities:

Except in exceptional circumstances, should a university that cannot offer a major in the mathematical sciences be involved in research training?
