NMSS (National Mathematics Summer School)

The National Mathematics Summer school was established under the joint educational sponsorship of The Australian National University and the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers in 1969 by the late Professor A.L. (Larry) Blakers AM of the University of Western Australia. It is the oldest and most prestigious Summer School of its type in Australia, and has been attended by over 3000 students from all states and territories around Australia. NMSS is a program for the discovery and development of mathematically gifted and talented high school students from all over Australia.
