An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Australia

Why have signatures been collected for this letter?
In the first three months since the National Strategic Review of Mathematical Sciences Research in Australia was completed, there has been no response from the government.
     It was therefore been decided that an open letter would be sent to the Prime Minister. The text of the letter, and the list of signatories from Australia and from many other countries, appear below.
     Signatures were collected until 2 April 2007. Although no further signatures are now being collected for the open letter, individuals concerned about the future of the mathematical sciences in Australia may write individually to Australian political leaders.
     A Media Release about the Open Letter is available here.

Text of the Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Australia
     Australia has had an international reputation for excellence in research and teaching in mathematical sciences and has produced many fine mathematicians and statisticians. This reputation was further enhanced when Professor Terry Tao was awarded the Fields Medal in 2006.
     The findings of the recent National Strategic Review of Mathematical Sciences Research in Australia, completed in December 2006, are therefore deeply disturbing. Australia cannot continue to make this kind of contribution from its shrinking research base and narrow concentration of research fields.
     The Review found that the shortage of mathematical modellers and statisticians is so severe that it inhibits work of business and industry, such as mining and biotechnology companies and financial institutions, and government agencies including the Australian Antarctic Division and CSIRO. The shortage brings pause to foreign companies' plans for investment in Australia.
     The collapse of Australia's mathematical sciences departments also prevents them from educating the mathematics teachers that are so desperately needed by the nation's schools.
     The three distinguished international reviewers, Professor Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, Dr Brenda Dietrich and Professor Iain Johnstone, found "the nation's tradition and capability to be on a truly perilous path".
     Even more disturbing is that, in the short time since the Review, the already seriously depleted base of mathematical sciences in Australian universities is being further eroded with a number of universities currently reducing staff through voluntary or forced redundancies.
     We have noted your commitment, quoted in the Review, that "in this ever more competitive global economy, Australia's science, engineering and technology skills need to match the best in the world". Science, engineering and technology skills depend on mathematical sciences.
     We, the undersigned, urge the Australian government to take urgent action and immediately address the priority areas identified in the Review.
