'''Maya Stein''' Maya Stein is a German mathematician working as a professor at the Department of Mathematical Engineering of the University of Chile. She is also the vice director and the academic director of the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile.
MOVED TO [[Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia]]; no point in editing this any further.


She obtained her doctorate degree at the University of Hamburg, supervised by Reinhard Diestel, and then spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of São Paulo with Yoshiharu Kohayakawa, before moving to Chile.

The '''Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia''' (CMSA) is a professional society of [[mathematician]]s working in the field of [[combinatorics]].<ref name=EAS>{{cite web | title = Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia | author = Encyclopedia of Australian Science | url = http://www.eoas.info/biogs/A002175b.htm | access-date = May 1, 2017}}</ref> It is the primary combinatorics society for [[Australasia]], consisting of [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]] and neighbouring countries.


Maya Stein is known for her research in combinatorics, in particular in graph theory, and her interests include extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, Ramsey theory, as well as structural and algorithmic graph theory and infinite graphs.
The CMSA existed as an informal group from 1972 until formal establishment in 1978. It became an incorporated association in 1996, and as of 2017, it has over 280 members including 110 life members.<ref name=History>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = About the society | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/index.html | access-date = May 1, 2017}}</ref>

==Membership and Management<ref name=Admin>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Rules of the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia Incorporated | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/rules/CMSA-Rules.pdf | access-date = April 29, 2017}}</ref>==

The membership of the CMSA consists of four classes: ordinary members, honorary members, institutional members, and life members.

The CMSA Council is responsible for all activities of the Society. It consists of a President, Vice-President, Immediate Past President (if there is one), Secretary, Treasurer, and a number of other members elected by members of the CMSA at its Annual General Meeting.

===CMSA Presidents<ref name=Presidents>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Council | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/council.html | access-date = April 29, 2017}}</ref>===

==Activities==

The main activities of the CMSA are to publish the [[Australasian Journal of Combinatorics]] (AJC),<ref name=AJC>{{cite web | author = Australasian Journal of Combinatorics | title = About the Journal | url = https://ajc.maths.uq.edu.au/ | access-date = April 28, 2017}}</ref> and to oversee the organisation of the annual Australasian Conference on Combinatorial Mathematics and Combinatorial Computing (ACCMCC), and the ten-yearly International Combinatorics Conference (ICC).<ref name=Conferences>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Conferences | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/conferences.html | access-date = April 28, 2017}}</ref> The CMSA also publishes an E-Newsletter in April, July, and October each year.<ref name=Newsletters>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Newsletters | url = http://combinatoricswiki.org/wiki/Combinatorial_Mathematics_Society_of_Australasia_Newsletters | access-date = April 30, 2017}}</ref>

===Student Support===
The CMSA strongly encourages student participation in its conferences. The ''CMSA Student Support Scheme'' provides travel support, and the ''CMSA Anne Penfold Street Student Prize'' (formerly called the ''CMSA Student Prize'', 2001-16) is awarded annually for the best student talk.<ref name=Students>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Students | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/students.html | access-date = April 29, 2017}}</ref>

==CMSA Medal==

The CMSA Medal is awarded at most every three years, to honour a member of the CMSA who has made outstanding and sustained contributions to combinatorics and to the Australasian combinatorics community.<ref name=Medal>{{cite web | author = CMSA | title = Medal | url = http://combinatorics-australasia.org/medal.html | access-date = April 28, 2017}}</ref>
