Schultz

[Phill Schultz]

Phill Schultz's Award was presented at the Annual Dinner at the Australian Mathematical Society Conference held in 1992 in Perth. Phill, an Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia, was WA Director of AMOC for 14 years. Peter O'Halloran noted in his citation speech that in that time he organised, identified and introduced local talented students in mathematics to participate in one or other of the AMOC problem solving activities. For example there was Andrew Hassell, who was the first Australian to receive a gold medal at an International Olympiad. Other IMO medallists from Western Australia were Kim Yan Cheng and Andrew Kepert.
