NZMASP Conference 2015

The New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Postgraduate Conference (NZMASP), run this year by the University of Waikato in Taupo, is an annual event that provides students with the chance to present their research in a relaxed and supportive environment. NZMASP also enables students to socialize with other postgraduates from all corners of the country. This year, 12 students from Victoria University attended and presented a 20 minute presentation each about our various research topics in Statistics, Pure and Applied Mathematics. These talks were all well received however special mention must go to Deloshan Narawajan who won best overall talk and Roy Costilla who won best statistical talk.

Included in the conference was an excursion which allowed us to see the sights of Taupo. Some of us went to Huka falls before swimming in the lake, which was freezing, before the conference dinner. Overall I think we all enjoyed the conference and we are looking forward to next year held by Otago University.
