Dr Amie Albrecht

I am a Research Associate within the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies.

I have also taught a variety of first-year courses for the School of Mathematics and Statistics. (See below for more details.)

I am co-editing the Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society with Kevin White during 2010-2012.

Presentations, workshops and resources (including secondary level mathematics)

CV (2009)

• Since 2003 I have been responsible, at various times, for the delivery of different first-year mathematics service courses. These include:
  • introductory mathematics courses within (what is now) the Foundation Program
  • mathematics for students studying pharmacy
  • discrete mathematics for (predominantly) students studying for a qualification in computer science
  • elementary mathematics for education students in the primary and middle years
