Everything about Society For Industrial And Applied Mathematics totally explained
» 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
Membership is open to both individuals and organizations. A partial list of academic members can be found below:
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 mathematicians, and academic mathematicians. 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 2008 SIAM publishes 14 research journals:
Multiscale Modeling and Simulation
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics
SIAM Journal on Computing
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics
SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis
SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications

All are available electronically by subscription.
Books
SIAM publishes 20-25 books each year.
Conferences
SIAM organizes conferences and meetings throughout the year focused on various topics in applied math and computational science.
SIAM News
SIAM News is a news journal 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. (External Link
) 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).(External Link)
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."(External Link)
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"(External Link)
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".(External Link)
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."(External Link)
W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize: Awarded for research in and contributions to areas of differential equations and control theory. (External Link)
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". (External Link)
James H. Wilkinson Prize: Awarded for "research in, or other contributions to, numerical analysis and scientific computing during the six years preceding the award". (External Link)
Moody's Mega Math (M³) Challenge
Funded by The Moody's Foundation and organized by SIAM, the M³ Challenge Moody's Mega Math Challenge is an applied mathematics modeling competition for high school students in the New York City metropolitan area.
