The 56th International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from 4 to 16 July 2015 — 104 countries participated. Australia achieved its highest-ever placing this year. [...]

Article by Nalini Joshi, The Australian I was the first woman to be appointed as a professor in any of the mathematical sciences at the University of Sydney. Sydney is the oldest university in [...]

In either the inviscid limit of the Euler equations, or the viscously dominated limit of the Stokes equations, the determination of fluid flows can be reduced to solving singular integral [...]

We are surrounded by structures that move and interact with a fluid — a flag flaps in a stiff breeze, a bird flies overhead, or a microscopic bacterium swims across a droplet of water. The study [...]

Complex fluids that have a “bio-active” microstructure — like suspensions of swimming bacteria or assemblies of immersed biopolymers and motor-proteins — are important examples of so-called [...]

Swimming, or self-propulsion through a fluid, is done by algae, bacteria, birds, and whales. It even occurs inside of cells. Swimming becomes especially fascinating when it involves collectives — [...]

Many important processes in the cell are mediated by stiff microtubule biopolymers and active motor proteins moving upon them.  This includes the transport of subcellular structures — nuclei, [...]
