Effective Visualisation
in the
Mathematical Sciences 3
Tuesday, 13th November, 2018
X602, NewSpace (City Campus), The University of Newcastle
"A heavy warning used to be given [by lecturers] that pictures are not rigorous;
this has never had its bluff called and has permanently frightened its victims into playing for safety. Some pictures,
of course, are not rigorous, but I should say most are (and I use them whenever possible myself)."
EViMS was founded by Jonathan Borwein, Michael Barnsley and Judy-anne Osborn, in recognition of the significance of visualisation in the Mathematical Sciences and the
increasing opportunities to do so with modern tools. Previous EViMS conferences spanned a broad swathe of this potential, demonstrating diverse computing technologies as
well as mathematical sculpture, and the points of interface between the two by utilising tools such as 3D printers. The previous conferences spanned mathematics research
and mathematics education, illustrating the productive synergy that may exist between the two. We the organising committee intend that this upcoming EViMS will continue to
provoke and promote creativity and cross-fertilisation in these spaces.

Registration
To register for EViMS 3, please visit the workshop Eventbrite
page. Although registration is free, it is required for attendance and will allow us to plan catering, et cetera.
There are two main areas with hotels and backpacker accommodation — Newcastle East and Honeysuckle,
within easy walking distance of each other and the conference venue. Honeysuckle is a popular area
with lots of restaurants with great views across the harbour. Additionally, the website
wotif.com sometimes has good deals.
From Newcastle Airport
For those arriving at the Newcastle Airport we recommend taking a taxi to Newcastle. The
taxi rank is adjacent to the arrivals area of the terminal. Newcastle Taxis can be contacted
directly, free-of-charge, on the dedicated taxi phone located in the arrivals end of the
terminal.
Alternatively, you can catch the 130 or 131 bus from the Newcastle
Airport to the Newcastle Station. From Newcastle Station it is an easy
walk to the recommended hotels. For more information and/or to plan your exact trip times see
the Sydney Trains or the
Port Stephens Coaches timetables.
From Sydney Airport
For those arriving at Sydney Airport we recommend taking the train some of the way
to Hamilton where you will need to transfer to a bus to Newcastle. For information and trip planning,
please visit www.transportnsw.info.
You should take the T2 Airport Line from Domestic or International Airport
Stations to Central Station and then the Central Coast & Newcastle LineHamilton Station. From Hamilton Station you must transfer to a bus to get into
the city.
