A call for contributions from The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute:

2013 is the International Year of Maths of Planet Earth and the International Year of Statistics. This is a once in a decade PR opportunity for the our discipline, AMSI is coordinating the national program for the year.

We are looking for guest bloggers to help us get the word out about the beauty and application of mathematics and statistics in the world around us. We want to show how mathematics and statistics appear in transport networks, bone remodelling, bush fire prediction, economic forecasting, predicting weather patterns, nature, movie animation, gene sequencing or any of the many other areas. Whatever your area of mathematics or statistics we want to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to showcase your research and teaching and help us show the limitless applications of mathematics and statistics to inspire the next generation.
