TIMS

Theoretical Investigations in Mathematics and Statistics (TIMS)

TIMS is a group of researchers who share expertise in various theoretical aspects of the mathematical sciences. While all members have key interests in the fundamental aspects of mathematics and statistics, all also have wider scientific interests that look to applications of mathematical and statistical ways of thinking.
