SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is an international community of close to 12,000 individual members. Almost 500 academic, manufacturing, research and development, service and consulting organizations, government, and military organizations worldwide are institutional members. SIAM fosters the development of applied mathematical and computational methodologies needed in these various application areas. Applied mathematics in partnership with computational science is essential in solving many real-world problems. Through publications, research, and community, the mission of SIAM is to build cooperation between mathematics and the worlds of science and technology. The SUNY New Paltz chapter is an extension of the international organization and is comprised of students interested in furthering their knowledge of applicable mathematics and computational science techniques. Research topics are based gupon current members' interests and vary broadly from year to year. In general, the organization holds regular meetings, organizes campus wide events, attends applicable conferences, and visits industrial sites.
