For the country formerly called Siam see Thailand


The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics ('''SIAM''') was founded by a small group of mathematicians from academia and industry who met in Philadelphia in 1951 to start an organization whose members would meet periodically to exchange ideas about the uses of Mathematics in industry. This meeting led to the organization of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The membership of SIAM has grown from a few hundred in the early 1950s to more than 11,000 As Of 2007 . SIAM retains its North American influence, but it also has East Asian, Argentinian, Bulgarian, and UK & Ireland sections.

SIAM is one of the four parts of the Joint Policy Board For Mathematics (JPBM).


MEMBERS

''See main article'': List Of SIAM Academic Members .


FOCUS

The focus for the society is applied and industrial mathematics, and the society often promotes its Acronym as "Science and Industry Advance with Mathematics." It is composed of a combination of people from a wide variety of vocations. Members include Engineers , Scientists , Industrial Mathematician s, and Academic Mathematician s. The society is active in promoting the use of analysis and Modeling in all settings. The society also strives to support and provide guidance to educational institutions wishing to promote Applied Mathematics .


ACTIVITY GROUPS (SIAGS)

The society includes a number of activity groups to allow for more focused group discussions and collaborations:


JOURNALS

As Of 2007 SIAM publishes 13 research journals:



BOOKS

SIAM publishes several books each year.


CONFERENCES

SIAM organizes conferences and meetings throughout the year focused on various topics in applied math and computational sciene.


SIAM NEWS

SIAM News a newsjournal focused on the applied math and computational science community and is published ten times per year.


PRIZES

SIAM recognizes applied mathematician and computational scientists for their contributions to the fields. Prizes include:

  • Germund Dahlquist Prize: Awarded to a young scientist (normally under 45) for original contributions to fields associated with Germund Dahlquist (numerical solution of differential equations and numerical methods for scientific computing). {Link without Title}


  • Ralph E. Kleinman Prize: Awarded for "outstanding research, or other contributions, that bridge the gap between mathematics and applications...Each prize may be given either for a single notable achievement or for a collection of such achievements." {Link without Title}


  • J.D. Crawford Prize: Awarded to "one individual for recent outstanding work on a topic in nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four calendar years preceding the meeting at which the prize is awarded" {Link without Title}


  • Richard C. DiPrima Prize: Awarded to "a young scientist who has done outstanding research in applied mathematics (defined as those topics covered by SIAM journals) and who has completed his/her doctoral dissertation and completed all other requirements for his/her doctorate during the period running from three years prior to the award date to one year prior to the award date". {Link without Title}


  • George Polya Prize : "is given every two years, alternately in two categories: (1) for a notable application of combinatorial theory; (2) for a notable contribution in another area of interest to George Pólya such as approximation theory, complex analysis, number theory, orthogonal polynomials, probability theory, or mathematical discovery and learning." {Link without Title}



  • Theodore von Kármán Prize: Awarded for "notable application of mathematics to mechanics and/or the engineering sciences made during the five to ten years preceding the award". {Link without Title}


  • James H. Wilkinson Prize: Awarded for "research in, or other contributions to, numerical analysis and scientific computing during the six years preceding the award". {Link without Title}



MOODY'S MEGA MATH (M³) CHALLENGE

Funded by The Moody's Foundation and organized by SIAM, the M³ Challenge is an applied mathematics modeling competition for high school students in the New York City metropolitan area.
